Most of life is grey, with a little tiny bit of black and white.

I was always amazed at how beautiful the light was. At different times of the day the landscape becomes a different place. Dawn and dusk, it's a different place.

You spend your whole life trapped inside your body. Everything you know about the world comes to you through your body.

It just struck me that one of the things about photography that made it such a compelling medium to deal with is that it is perhaps the most contradictory of mediums.

What happens with experiences that really move us deeply, that really effect us? They make the world new again. What it does is it heightens our sense of mortality.

On practical level I can't pick up the camera until I think I know what I want. I don't wander around. It's almost impossible for me to pick up a camera... it's really hard.

You pick up a camera because something has been revealed to you in the landscape or in the human-scape. And you have no choice because it's a gift. And it's like, oh right, I better start doing this!

There are no inherent limitations to the medium. There are just differences.

There's something about the processional nature of the architecture, of the rooms connecting rooms. It's just breathtaking.

As a boy I was obsessed with Egypt and Egyptology. I'm convinced it's not that uncommon. A lot of 10 or 12 year old boys become obsessed with Egypt. It's a bit like young girls and horses.

I owe Elvis my career, and the entire music business owes him it's lifeline.

Never let a boy know you're crazy about him. He'll lose interest, and then you'll be a loser.

I also identify as a Latin person, a person who has Latin blood.

My work was entirely nonfiction.

For our daughters and our granddaughters now, the sky is the limit.

Drugs had shown me little bits here and there-they had rolled across the carpet once or twice, but I had been able to get them out of my mind.

You have to be serious about what you do but you mustn't take yourself seriously. That way you'll be happier and ultimately you'll be more successful. You'll be better at what you do.

Wanting to work is a luxury; having to work is not. If you're an artist, an actor, and you don't have to work, then you do work that you wanna do.

I'm not creating art that starts with politics or starts with ethics. I feel I am a conceptual artist because my art is more concerned with epistemology than ethics or politics or even aesthetics.

A good song can be produced in several different genres.
