Photography has always been important to me for that, being able to make sense of something or understand something or remember something or laugh at something.

As I've learned in the past few years, Mali is home to some of the most incredible musicians in the world.

My favorite photos are the ones where people don't really see me. I'm more interested in looking at people looking at things.

The majority of my photos are taken while traveling, because everything feels new and exciting initially. Taking photos is like a way to make sense of the overwhelming.

I'm a big fan of Henri Cartier-Bresson, the French photographer who had that whole "decisive moment" approach to taking pictures, of having multiple elements line up within the frame.

It definitely helps if I can wear a jacket, because I can have a camera in my pocket. When we're on tour or if I go travel somewhere by myself, that's when I take the most photos.

The fact that so many people whose livelihood depends on being able to play, it's just crazy.

La religion n'est pas un pont entre Dieu et l'homme, c'est une Grande Muraille de Chine entre eux!

Want to change the world? Upset the status quo? This takes more than run-of-the-mill relationships. You need to make people dream the same dream that you do.

She wanted to live, and live fully, and to give life, she who loved life! What was the good of existing, if you couldn't give yourself?

With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.

It is a negative sort of achievement, she thinks, to have spent a life warding something off.

It's a heavy weight, the camera. Now we have modern and lightweight, small plastic cameras, but in the '70s they were heavy metal.

Always remember, everyone is hungry for praise and starving for honest appreciation.

He who is too much afraid of being duped has lost the power of being magnanimous.

What is constitutive is the action that divides madness, and not the science elaborated once this division is made.

I don't want to be the ingenue anymore. It's nice to be glamorous, but I don't want to always be an object of desire. Because it doesn't last.
