It's equally hard and labor intensive to create an image on the computer as it is in a darkroom. Believe me.

Photography is just light remembering itself.

My creative process begins when I get out with the camera and interact with the world. A camera is truly a license to explore. There are no uninteresting things. There are just uninterested people.

I have gradually confused photography with life.

I think of my photographs as being obviously symbolic, but not symbolically obvious.

Of course, in order to make art, the frustration of not working has to be greater than the frustration of working.

When the entire process becomes a prescribed ritual that does not allow for spontaneous variations and reactions, the vitality of the medium and our relation to it suffers.

The goal of the artist is not to resolve life's mysteries, but to deepen them.

My visual quest is driven by a desire to create a universe capable of supporting feelings and ideas.

Ultimately, my hope is to amaze myself.

The anticipation of discovering new possibilities becomes my greatest joy.

Madness is something rare in individuals — but in groups, parties, peoples, and ages, it is the rule.

If you want to live your whole life free from pain you must become either a god or else a corpse. Consider other men's troubles and that will comfort you.

All of us have moments in our lives when we have to choose between what we know is right and what we feel obligated to do.

Nobody knows like a woman how to say things at the same time sweet and profound. Sweetness and depth, this is all of woman; this is all of Heaven.

Where is it now, the glory and the dream?
