I'm not a nice girl. I'm a photographer.

I didn't decide to be a photographer; I just happened to fall into it.

Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.

Photography doesn't teach you to express your emotions; it teaches you how to see.

What the human eye observes casually and incuriously, the eye of the camera (the lens) notes with relentless fidelity.

Photography helps people to see.

I am so fascinated with this century it will help keep me alive. I'll be there until the last minute, fighting.

Like every other means of expression, photography, if it is to be utterly honest and direct, should be related to the life of the times - the pulse of today.

There are many teachers who could ruin you. Before you know it you could be a pale copy of this teacher or that teacher. You have to evolve on your own.

Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself.

Some people are still unaware that reality contains unparalleled beauties. The fantastic and unexpected, the ever-changing and renewing is nowhere so exemplified as in real life itself.

When you begin to run after miracles, Jesus feels insulted.

Rather than thinking, 'If I do this, and in five years I'll be where I want to be,' you're better just doing something that makes you happy now.

America can be saved only by what it's trying to destroy.

Other people's belief changes you. We all have insecurity, and uncertainty, and to have that glow cast over you by somebody that you respect, makes a gigantic difference.

Neither the true faith nor eternal salvation is to be found outside the Holy Catholic Church.

I'd do a lot of things to protect you.

Conflict can be seen as a gift of energy, in which neither side loses and a new dance is created.

When you learn something from people, or from a culture, you accept it as a gift, and it is your lifelong commitment to preserve it and build on it.

It's always fun to play characters that are different from me.
