I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.

What I loathe is the multi-national conglomerates who must take responsibility for the degradation and pollution of so much of our landscape with their factory farming and greed.

I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process.

Look at lots of exhibitions and books, and don't get hung up on cameras and technical things. Photography is about images.

But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living.

You can't expect to take a definitive image in half an hour. It takes days, often years.

I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like.

I'm not faithful to one particular medium, and it's what I try to teach to people who work with me.

Maybe black and white is the best medium for landscapes, I don't know.

The viewer must bring their own view to a photograph.

I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks.

When someone puts an end to something, it doesn't mean that he gave up, it means that thing is not taking him anywhere.

Governments getting involved in sports activities would ultimately damage sports.

My first recognition of age setting in was exactly on my 36th birthday. I have no idea why, on this day of all days, I looked in the mirror and realized my face no longer looked young.

For years we have been taught not to like things. Finally somebody said it was OK to like things. This was a great relief. It was getting hard to go around not liking everything.

Youth must go ahead and prosper. These young painters are all very talented people, but they all paint frescoes.

The difference between those who succeed and fail: not taking advantage of opportunities.

Occasionally, you feel like the only person able to win the match. So you take all the responsibility, you do too much, and you do something bad.

Indifference towards those in need is not acceptable for a Christian.

The real person you are is revealed in the moments when you're certain no other person is watching. When no one is watching, you are driven by what you expect of yourself.

In network TV, you have to present the box before you can step outside it.
