I'm six foot four and a half and I have a temper. It's reserved for very important issues. If someone is asking me to make an artistic concession, then I'll become a madman.

I was a sports fan, but I also went to peace marches.

There's nothing more boring than unintelligent actors, because all they have to talk about is themselves and acting. There have to be other things.

Don't be afraid of imperilling your health by giving a few extra hours to the company that pays your salary!

My hunger serves me instead of a clock.

If life can end in one minute - so damn quickly with no damn warning - you better do what you want to do now right this minute. Because your next minute might not happen.

Art is a way of possessing destiny.

People never change because they are under threat or under duress. Never. They change because they see something that makes their life seem valuable enough to start moving toward a life worth living.

I was photographing every meal I ate, every person I met, every waiter or waitress who served me, every bed I slept in, every toilet I used.
