I met an Englishwoman in Africa. She said she became a doctor because she saw one of my pictures. That’s all I want – just one doctor in Africa.

I only use a camera like I use a toothbrush. It does the job.

Photography isn't about seeing, it's about feeling. If I don't have some kind of feeling for what I'm shooting, how can I expect the person who looks at it to feel anything?

Photography is the truth if it’s being handled by a truthful person.

Seeing, looking at what others cannot bear to see is what my life is all about.

Photography for me is not looking, it's feeling. If you can't feel what you're looking at, then you're never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.

The real truth of life is on the streets. Photograph the daily lives of people, and how they exist, and how they fight for space and time and pleasure.

You cannot walk on the water of hunger, misery, and death. You have to wade through to record them.

Sometimes it felt like I was carrying pieces of human flesh back home with me, not negatives. It's as if you are carrying the suffering of the people you have photographed.

There's always a threat surrounding the things you love

People with low self-confidence and self-esteem often feel nervous about antagonizing others and tend to rate others’ needs more highly than their own.

There is no final destination to our journey.

Imagine Himalayas without glaciers. Imagine 3 nuclear powers without water.

Soon all of you immortalsWill be as dead as we are! Come on then, what are you waiting for?Have you run out of thunderbolts?

Did you know in the sea you can find a fish called, SWEETLIPS?"Ted and Raymond's Sea Adventure

On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down .

Be not dismayed; in the future lies the Promised Land.

Jam Cruise is actually a comfortable place for me. My jamming skills and my improvisational skills have improved immensely as I've gone more solo, because I've had this opportunity.

Sometimes you may feel like you are just about to realize your goal only to fall short. That is no reason to quit. Defeat happens only to those who refuse to try again.

It's sad when our daddies die. Makes us one less person inside.
