The picture is like a prayer, an offering, and hopefully an opening through which to seek what we don't know, or already know and should take seriously.

For me, pictures provide a means of holding, intensely, a moment of communication between one human and another.

You’re always working at the margin of what you don’t understand, that’s the only exhilarating place to be. To just illustrate what you already know is condescending, and a waste of your time.

Photography is a tool for dealing with things everybody knows about but isn’t attending to. My photographs are intended to represent something you don’t see.

I want my photographs to say: "Look-there's this thing you haven't seen that you should see."

We tremble at the feelings we experience as our sense of wholeness is reorganized by what we see.

This is the gift of the landscape photograph, that the heart finds a place to stand.

All important pictures embody something that we do not yet understand.

I was going round the world searching for an interesting place, when I realized that the place that I was in was already interesting.

The authentic thing is to follow your heart, your instincts, your emotions. If you located yourself in an idea, your life would be lived very sadly.

The challenge of photography is to show the thing photographed so that our feelings are awakened and hidden aspects are revealed to us

We cannot move forward if we allow the past to pull us back.

Political corruption works by having an equally corrupt legal system to protect it.

To everyone who thinks writing a sequel should be easy because you've already clreated the universe: Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha! Heh. No.

I think beauty comes from within, and society paints a ridiculous picture.

People love events - they love performances, they love music - and I think Australians are great entertainers.

If we can boondoggle ourselves out of this depression, that word is going to be enshrined in the hearts of the American people for years to come.

Success in life comes to those who simply refuse to give up; individuals with vision so strong that obstacles, failure and loss only act as teachings

We're all just people, some of us accidentally connected by genetics, a random selection of cells. Nothing more.

I've never met anybody in this world like me.
