I never liked photography. Not for the sake of photography. I like the object. I like the photographs when you hold them in your hand.

Beauty and the devil are the same thing.

To make pictures big is to make them more powerful.

Sell the public flowers... things that they can hang on their walls without being uptight.

I am selfish, but that's an attribute that all artists possess.

I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn’t. And that’s a tough place to be because you’re never satisfied.

If I am at a party, I want to be at the party. Too many photographers use the camera to avoid participating in things. They become professional observers.

When I work, and in my art, I hold hands with God.

The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.

I went into photography because it seemed like the perfect vehicle for commenting on the madness of today's existence.

If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up.

My wife has said that a bitter, sour Christianis one of Satan’s greatest trophies—and she’s right.

Communication is the real work of leadership.

A life of leisure never satisfies anyone who possesses a lively mind.

Live your spirit's dreams, not your mind's.

I think a good director is a good listener.

I never understood the idea that you're supposed to mellow as you get older. Slowing down isn't something I relate to at all. The goal is to continue in good and bad, all of it.

There is a high cost for low living.

I typically get around to most major cities at least once a year. I think people see that as their chance to go nuts for the year if they're into the style of music.

All that happens is that the destruction of human beings - unless they're Americans - is called collateral damage.

And so I was very grateful that I didn't do the British stiff upper lip, but I went straight to a therapist. And she was wonderful and helpful, and I went for about two years.
