I may be old-fashioned. But I believe there is such a thing as a search for beauty - a delight in the nice things in the world. And I don't think one should have to apologise for it.

A window covered with raindrops interests me more than a photograph of a famous person.

Photography allows you to learn to look and see. You begin to see things you'd never paid attention to.

In order to build a career and to be successful, one has to be determined. One has to be ambitious. I much prefer to drink coffee, listen to music and to paint when I feel like it.

I go out to take a walk, I see something, I take a picture. I take photographs. I have avoided profound explanations of what I do.

There are the things that are out in the open and then there are the things that are hidden, and life has more to do, the real world has more to do with what is hidden, maybe. You think?

The important thing in life is not what you get, but what you throw out.

Seeing is a neglected enterprise.

I don’t have a philosophy. I have a camera.

When we do not know why the photographer has taken a picture and when we do not know why we are looking at it, all of a sudden we discover something that we start seeing. I like this confusion.

If I’d only known which [photographs] would be very good and liked, I wouldn’t have had to do all the thousands of others.

Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Selfrighteous creates wars more often than other reasons.

Beauty is everywhere you look, but you have to look.

When you engage in work that you love, you are happy.

A human being who is first of all an invalid is all body therein lies his inhumanity and his debasement.

I am probably the most selfish man you will ever meet in your life. No one gets the satisfaction or the joy that I get out of seeing kids realize there is hope.

Volunteering is a great way to look outside your own problems. Giving back to makes you happier by both giving you a sense of purpose and helping to put your problems in perspective.

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.

I'll place my love beneath the stars.

You know the way people begin to look like their dogs? Well, we're beginning to look like each other.
