I don't want anyone to appreciate the light or the palette of tones. I want my pictures to inform, to provoke discussion - and to raise money.

It's more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera

The picture is not made by the photographer, the picture is more good or less good in function of the relationship that you have with the people you photograph.

The language that photography has is a formal language. Any photographer is doing something formal. If it's formal, then it must be an aesthetic way to communicate.

In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.

The day of the daredevil reporter who refuses to see obstacles to getting the truth, and seeing it with his or her own eyes, seems to have died.

What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but absence of self-criticism.

Quacks are a part of our culture, and we all fall prey to them. Who among us can say, for sure, that even our own personal physicians are honest and competent?

I love not serious documentaries, too, but I love seeing people at their wits' end, I guess.

I should never seek a job in my life, my mission in life is to create jobs. I am not a job seeker, I am a job giver.

Children want one thing at a time, and want that one thing passionately.

The path that we are headed on economically in America is one that leads to total ruination of the American system.
