I toyed with the notion of being an actor, and am so glad that this whim did not go any further.

All photography is propaganda.

Photography is the simplest thing in the world, but it is incredibly complicated to make it really work.

With photography, I like to create a fiction out of reality. I try and do this by taking society's natural prejudice and giving this a twist.

I think the ordinary is a very under-exploited aspect of our lives because it is so familiar.

You have to take a lot of bad pictures. Dont' be afraid to take bad pictures... You have to take a lot of bad pictures in order to know when you've got a good one.

You can read a lot about a country by looking at its beaches: across cultures, the beach is that rare public space in which all absurdities and quirky national behaviors can be found.

The easy bit is picking up a camera and pointing and shooting. But then you have to decide what it is you’re trying to say and express.

You can't learn passion, either you've got it or you haven't.

We are drowning in images. Photography is used as a propaganda tool, which serves to sell products and ideas. I use the same approach to show aspects of reality.

I am what I photograph.

Sight is seeing what's there, vision is seeing what's possible

Sometimes life is not kind, and most times we have to hurt deeply in order to find out how strong and determined we really are.

Simplicity and naturalness are the truest marks of distinction.

Assassination makes only martyrs, not converts.

I have no intention of lingering through a season, just to have a chance to be an alternate on a relay. I don't want that.

That stillness and vastness that enables the Universe to be, is not just out there in space...it is also within you.

You've grown up, girl. You've grown up real nice, Welcome home

You wish to be liked. I wish simply to be. One day you will know what that means, perhaps. And you will smile. Not against me. But with me.

I only feel sorry for weak people. And mostly what I've come to find is that the weak people are the ones that are the haters.
