If I do continue to do fashion, I would want to radicalise it.

I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.

My desire is to preserve the sense of people’s lives, to endow them with the strength and beauty I see in them. I want the people in my pictures to stare back.

For me it is not a detachment to take a picture. It's a way of touching somebody - it's a caress… I think that you can actually give people access to their own soul.

I always thought if I photographed anyone or anything enough, I would never lose the person, I would never lose the memory, I would never lose the place. But the pictures show me how much I've lost.

Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures.

I knew from a very early age, that what I saw on tv had nothing to do with real life. So I wanted to make a record of real life. That included having a camera with me at all times.

My work shows the beauty in so many different kinds of people because I never photograph anyone who I don't think is beautiful. I never take an intentionally mean picture.

I want fame now, not after I'm dead.

When we are very young, our parents inadvertently program us to be what we eventually become.

I led such a sheltered life I didn't go out with girls until I was almost four.

Forgive me, I must start by pointing out that three years after our horrific financial crisis caused by financial fraud, not a single financial executive has gone to jail, and that's wrong.

We decided that the French could never write user-friendly software because they're so rude.

Understanding a person does not mean condoning; it only means that one does not accuse him as if one were God or a judge placed above him.

There is no limit to stupidity. - Space itself is said to be bounded by its own curvature, but stupidity continues beyond infinity.

It's not just about the current economic environment. History shows that slashing budgets always leads to recession.

God always offers us a second chance in life.

Schools vast factories for the manufacture of robots.
