In spite of recent trends towards fabricating photographic narratives, I find, more than ever, traditional photographic capture, the 'discovery' of found narratives, deeply compelling.

I'm not interested into victim photography. Photographing people suffering and putting it on a museum wall is too weird.

Our experience with knowledge, the way we know things, is not that neat. It doesn't fit into a grand narrative, the way we've been taught to read.

I think this is the most exciting time in the history of photography. Technology is expanding what photographers can do, like the microscope and the telescope expanded what scientists could do.

Whatever else a photograph may be about, it is always about time.

I've come to believe that beauty can be a very powerful conveyor of difficult ideas.

There is something lovable about almost everyone you encounter. Uncover it, and you will experience true compassion.

In all of your living, don't forget to live.

I'm basically a dinosaur. I don't use e-mail. But I do recognize the importance of science and the resulting possibilities.

To die for the racists is lighter than a feather, but to die for the people is heavier than any mountain and deeper than any sea.

I really, really love new work, and that's why, you know, I produced a concert series supporting new musicals and stuff like that. I hope to do more things like that.

I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence

Poverty, many can endure with dignity. Success, how few can carry off, even with decency and without baring their innermost infirmities before the public gaze!

In this cash-rich, time-poor culture of ours, the most precious commodity we have is time...volunteering our precious time, is in this brutally self-involved world, the most truly selfless act

I am fiercely independent and I probably wouldn't be if it wasn't for the way in which I was brought up

Dreaming is the opportunity to hold a citizenship in two worlds, equally real but with different logic and limitations.
