My work has no theme. I don't care if my photographs get published, and I have no interest in the news. But the invasion of Prague was not news, it was my life.

I would like to see everything, look at everything, I want to be the view itself.

The biggest lesson in photography is that from negative we make a positive

If a picture is good, it tells many different stories.

I don't like captions. I prefer people to look at my pictures and invent their own stories.

I don't pretend to be an intellectual or a philosopher. I just look.

I have to shoot three cassettes of film a day, even when not 'photographing', in order to keep the eye in practice.

I never stay in one country more than three months. Why? Because I was interested in seeing, and if I stay longer I become blind.

The maximum, that is what has always interested me.

If I am dissatisfied, it's simply because good photos are few and far between. A good photo is a miracle.

What matters most to me is to take photographs; to continue taking them and not to repeat myself. To go further, to go as far as I can.

I always knew death of this relation would beat the death out of my life.

A kind word sends vibes of love, if we are perceptive, if we know how love permeates and proliferates with this little gesture of giving.

Sooner or later sin makes its claim on a person.

Infant mortality and life expectancy are reasonable indicators of general well-being in a society.

Men of God and men of war have strange affinities.

It is better to advise than upbraid, for the one corrects the erring; the other only convicts them.

The opposite of love is not to hate but to separate. If love and hate have something in common it is because, in both cases, their energy is that of bringing and holding together

I was playing violin for a long time, about 6 years. It takes a while. You need very patient people in your house when you have a violin.

I just look up to anyone who made music back then because you really had to be a musician. There were no samples or drum machines. Those people back in the day paved the way for people like me.

I think every job you have to lie to get. You always say how wonderful it all is, that it's an amazing script - "I love you, you're such a great director." I think every actor does that.
