I was over self-medicating back when I was a kid and didn't know it.

At the end of the day, what I show is real life. I tell the truth. And the truth can be shocking.

I just happened to have my camera and be photographing my friends. It was totally innocent; there was no purpose to the photographs. There was a purity to them that wasn’t planned; it was realism.

I tell people to frame the picture. Make the greatest, most perfect composition you can . . . and then take a step forward. It skews it a bit and makes it more interesting.

I am a storyteller. I've never been interested in just taking the single image and moving on. I always like to stay with the people I'm photographing for long periods of time.

For me there are no rules. I think I learned that from artists-from painters and sculptors. It took photography a while to catch up to them.

My greatest lesson in composition was looking at paintings.

When I started shooting speed, amphetamine, when I was 15, almost 16, it actually calmed me down.

The work all comes from a psychological need. See the images that I make... It's really a psychological need. I'm just jerked around by it. I'm pulled by it.

In the LBO field there is a buried "covariance" with marketable equities, toward disaster in generally bad business conditions, and competition is now extremely intense.

If we want to know God personally, to relate to Him intimately, we must be prepared to receive and experience His glory.

I just kept thinking about what my mom [Hillary Clinton] has said repeatedly when people have asked her similar questions, she's tough and she can take whatever people say about her.

If we are now holding late-night talk-show hosts to the same moral accountability as we hold politicians or clergymen, I'm out. I'm gone.

In youth all doors open outward; in old age all open inward.

America is not like a blanket- one piece of unbroken cloth. America is more like a quilt- many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven together by a common thread.

All ballet, all reading, all music. That was my world, my inner world.

Everybody contributes something to the system, and everybody suffers from the system.
