I think of myself as an explorer who has spent his life on a long voyage of discovery.

Your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees.

It is one thing to photograph people. It is another to make others care about them by revealing the core of their humanness.

The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.

It is easy to make a picture of someone and call it a portrait. The difficulty lies in making a picture that makes the viewer care about a stranger.

If you let other people's vision get between the world and your own, you will achieve that extremely common and worthless thing, a pictorial photograph.

No matter what lens you use, no matter what speed the film, no matter how you develop it, no matter how you print it, you cannot say more than you can see.

The important thing is, you have to have something important to say about the world.

All good art is abstract in its structure.

I've always wanted to be aware of what's going on around me, and I've wanted to use photography as an instrument of research into and reporting on the life of my own time.

Objectivity is of the very essence of photography, its contribution and at the same time its limitation

Whoever has trusted a woman has trusted deceivers.

Emotion can be the enemy, if you give into your emotion, you lose yourself. You must be at one with your emotion, because the body always follows the mind.

When you come into our house, you get a flavor for our life, our travels, our kids, our 18-year-old poodle who is like, blind, deaf and incontinent but so happy.

I think a lot of my work has been a weird attempt to liberate myself, but it's not altogether successful.

Well, harpsichord is kind of a big guitar, isn't it? I mean, it is plucked, after all.

Obey God's law first before considering the laws of man.

I'm fascinated by politics. I love watching everyone from Neil deGrasse Tyson to Lawrence Krauss to people like Richard Dawkins and Noam Chomsky on YouTube.

As far as movies, I love 'The Notebook.' I always say that I wish I could play Rachel McAdams' character. She's amazing. That's the movie every girl wants to be in.

I would love to go for a bob. I want to do the chop and go drastic.

Plenty of bad movies are very successful, and plenty of good movies are not. And distribution is so crazy, some films won't even get their day in court.
