I think there's some stuff that's at least photographically interesting. There are things I back off from trying to talk about.

No one moment is most important. Any moment can be something.

Sometimes I feel like . . . the world is a place I bought a ticket to. It’s a big show for me, as if it wouldn’t happen if I wasn’t there with a camera.

Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.

Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.

You have a lifetime to learn technique. But I can teach you what is more important than technique, how to see; learn that and all you have to do afterwards is press the shutter.

I don't have anything to say in any picture. My only interest in photography is to see what something looks like as a photograph. I have no preconceptions.

A photograph is the illusion of a literal description of how the camera 'saw' a piece of time and space.

You don´t have time to waste time.

Bitter, bitter, this desolation of angels.

Love is the miracle of life.

I'd wish you good luck, but you won't need it. You get to write your own story now. Nothing's luckier than that.

Success is possible, Failure is possible, But nothing is impossible.

Mattresses! Beautiful! Let's go buy a couple of mattresses. Give 'em to people for their birthday.

I am a Maoist sympathiser. I'm not a Maoist ideologue, because the communist movements in history have been just as destructive as capitalism.

There should be more women directing; I think there's just not the awareness that it's really possible.

It is one of the biggest blessing that you can be stupid with your true friends and behave like you shame to do elsewhere

The solitary monk who shook the world From pagan slumber, when the gospel trump Thunder' d its challenge from his dauntless lips In peals of truth.
