I don't stop at my past; I like new work. I like what I'm doing tomorrow.

When people ask me which is your favourite portrait, they expect it to be Diana, or someone famous. But the answer is my dog, Puffy. They think I mean Puff Daddy. No, it is the dog.

When you are a photographer, you work all the time, because your eye is the first camera.

Photography is like a moment, an instant. You need a half-second to get the photo. So it's good to capture people when they are themselves.

When you're a fashion photographer, you must inspire a dream.

I don't take the camera out with me. My eyes are the camera for me every day.

My dog, Puffy. The dog is the perfect portrait subject. He doesn't pose. He isn't aware of the camera.

I love digital, but the only problem is less intimacy. People look at the screen right away. Before, nobody saw the picture before you saw the final picture. There was more privacy in a way.

I love my dog. Actually, the best portrait I did was of my dog.

Film is not very practical. The new world goes faster, and digital is very fast.

My stepfather gave me a Kodak camera when I was 17 years old. I started working at a local photo store in Le Havre, France, taking passport pictures and photographing weddings.

I feel as though the world is a friendly boy walking along in the sun.

When we are willing to explore our own experiences, we open the doorway to deeper connection and intimacy.

Poverty is a result of poor choices not of poor luck

Can I remember "I remember lots," I say. How much of what I remember is true is another matter.

We need to step into certain uncertainty. Without faith it is impossible to please God.

But I've got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album's worth of work as his legacy. That's all that life allowed him.

Obviously I was either onto something, or on something.

I'm scared of making the biggest mistake of my life. I'm just trying to figure out what the mistake is.

I am fat, lazy and kind.

I think it is important to approach others comfortably. Instead of blaming others (for not having any friends), try looking back at yourself first.
