I'm interested in reality, and I'm interested in survival. I'm interested in people who aren't the lucky ones, who maybe have a tougher time surviving, and telling their story.

Finding the right subject is the hardest part.

Photograph the world as it is. Nothing's more interesting than reality.

I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul.

It’s not when you press the shutter, but why you press the shutter.

Usually my ideas for work have revolved around my interest in people, especially people that live on the edges of society.

Reality is always extraordinary.

I’m just interested in people on the edges. I feel an affinity for people who haven’t had the best breaks in society. What I want to do more than anything is acknowledge their existence.

I was fascinated by my own prom pictures.

I respect newspapers but the reality is that magazine "photojournalism" is finished. They want illustrations, Photoshopped pictures of movie stars.

A great photograph needs no explanation; it functions by suggestion. There is no need to be explicit.

Some people, perhaps those with more dignity and less rage gnawing at the roots of their being, are nicer as failures, For me, it was like descending a deep pit that had no bottom

The same good folk who would burn me for a psychal now paid me to use my cursed gramarye to guard their sheep.

It is this union of passionate interest in the detailed facts with equal devotion to abstract generalisation which forms the novelty in our present society .

I think hidden underneath a lot of teachers are very sexy women.

I found one had to do some work every day, even at midnight, because either you're professional or you're not.

All I can do is just do stuff while I am alive and hopefully that track record will speak for itself.

My photographs recall the memories of the human race.

There's no doubt about it... I was born a feminist.

You better check your playlist. Because you are on the wrong track.

You've got to figure out what works best for you. That's the hard part. I know I can't play as stoic as Hogan, and I can't talk as much as Trevino. You have to be your own person.
