I have such a love of good music that I find even melancholic music uplifting. Maybe I'm a rare breed.

Photography was the only thing that mattered in my life and I gave it everything.

I don’t crop my images and I always shoot handheld. By doing that I build in a kind of imperfection and this helps to emphasize reality.

I work using the Brian Eno school of thinking: limit your tools, focus on one thing and just make it work… You become very inventive with the restrictions you give yourself.

My biggest fear always is that I’ll photograph an idea rather than a person, so I try to be quite sensitive to how people are.

By self-analysis you can not change your character, but you may change your mentality.

Photography has taken me from isolation.

I've gotten used to not looking too far into the future; it's best when you can begin each day anew.

Take the risk! You find the right road!

The understanding smile of an old wife to her husband is one of the loveliest things in the world.

I want my photographs to say: "Look-there's this thing you haven't seen that you should see."

I don't care about crime, I just want to get the guns.

If I can tell my story, and help anybody else in the interim, then that's icing on the cake.

The so-called positive press has in some ways been more difficult to swallow than the negative.

Wealth is not determined by investment performance, but by investor behavior.

Peace is the inner nature of humankind. If you find it within yourself, you will then find it everywhere.

Dylan doesn't have to make Blonde On Blonde every time.
