I hate good taste. It's the worst thing that can happen to a creative person.

I am very attracted by bad taste-it is a lot more exciting than that supposed good taste which is nothing more than a standardized way of looking at things.

The desire to discover, the desire to move, to capture the flavor, three concepts that describe the art of photography.

Photography is 10% inspiration and 90% moving furniture.

It's that I don't like white paper backgrounds. A woman does not live in front of white paper. She lives on the street, in a motor car, in a hotel room.

My women are always victorious.

My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain.

There are two dirty words in photography, one is art, the other is good taste

Look, I'm not an intellectual - I just take pictures.

...what I try to do is a good bad picture. I work it out very carefully, and then I do something that looks as if it went wrong.

Start each day with thoughts of gratitude and you will attract the power of love.

If the problem of free will is to see how freedom fits into the order of nature, then Kant's basic view about the free will problem is that it is insoluble.

You create time by joining events together. But they don't join together; there's no separativity.

I wanted the world to know where I was from. I wanted to say to the world, "We gotcha." America gotcha.

If a man cannot be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Christian anywhere.

Not a wasted word. This has been a main point to my literary thinking all my life.

For a love to grow through the test of everyday living, one must respect that zone of privacy where one retires to relate to the inside instead of the outside.

Fatigue is your friend. Through exhaustion and through people just being so depleted, the stuff around the nerve endings gets worn away and other things begin to emerge and you take way bigger risks.

I made it look so easy on court all those years. No one realized how hard I had to work. No one realized how much I had to put into it. They underestimated my intensity.
