Photography, not soft gutless painting, is best equipped to bore into the spirit of today.

Anything more than 500 yards from the car just isn't photogenic.

If I have any 'message' worth giving to a beginner it is that there are no short cuts in photography.

Now, to consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravity before going for a walk.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

This then: to photograph a rock, have it look like a rock, but be more than a rock.

Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be.

I would say to any artist: Don't be repressed in your work, dare to experiment, consider any urge, if in a new direction all the better.

Why limit yourself to what your eyes see when you have an opportunity to extend your vision?

Ultimately success or failure in photographing people depends on the photographer's ability to understand his fellow man.

History is full of examples of men with deep-seated grievances who embraced good causes, in part at least, to settle old scores.

Don't hang with negative people. They will pull you down with them. Instead, invite them into your light and together you will both shine strong.

There is only one subject matter for education, and that is Life in all its manifestations

I unfortunately don't have a stage name, I don't have a celebrity that I can hide behind, so every time I show my ID at an airport person or get carded at a bar, it's always interesting.

The truth isn't just the facts. You can have all the facts imaginable and miss the truth, just as you can have facts missing or some wrong, and reach the larger truth.

I apologize to the public, whom I promised better.

Pudge, my friend, we are indefuckingstructible.

I love the ups and downs and the eccentricities of my career. The worst movies have produced some of the best friendships.

It makes no difference how many peaks you reach if there was no pleasure in the climb.

Science is simply common sense at its best.
