I'm often uncomfortable taking pictures, especially if people are grieving, or hurt, or hungry. At such times I have to remind myself that I'm a photographer and that this is my job.

I can photograph someone if I can touch them.

War all comes down to these little tiny stories about people's lives that will never be the same.

It's a process of getting to know people. That's what photography is to me. It's about paying attention, not screwing up and blowing a great opportunity.

My biggest problem is I'm so uninteresting that all these people forget I'm around.

Approaching people is not - it's ironic that it's what I do - but it's not necessarily what I enjoy doing. Later on, I'm fine. Once we get talking I have a great time but not in the beginning.

Forgetting is the cost of living cheerfully.

You shouldn't be in the music business if you're posing.

The less I talk in bars, write emails, express myself in an emotionally lewd way outside of my songwriting, the more I have to do it through my music.

The best way to know the Truth or Beauty is to try to express it.

Rekindling hope, engaging in inner work, and venturing into the world amount to a complete plan for picking yourself up when you're down.

If you get involved in music expecting to make a living out of it, then you've picked the wrong thing to do. That shouldn't really be in your mind.

I'm such a chameleon. I never get bored.

The United States is not nearly so concerned that its acts be kept secret from its intended victims as it is that the American people not know of them.

When there are no words, let your eyes do the talking.

We thought we were done with these things but we were wrong. We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.
