The really simple approach to photography is a great balance to making the films.

Photography was the only thing that mattered in my life and I gave it everything.

I don’t crop my images and I always shoot handheld. By doing that I build in a kind of imperfection and this helps to emphasize reality.

I work using the Brian Eno school of thinking: limit your tools, focus on one thing and just make it work… You become very inventive with the restrictions you give yourself.

My biggest fear always is that I’ll photograph an idea rather than a person, so I try to be quite sensitive to how people are.

By self-analysis you can not change your character, but you may change your mentality.

Photography has taken me from isolation.

I've gotten used to not looking too far into the future; it's best when you can begin each day anew.

I have such a love of good music that I find even melancholic music uplifting. Maybe I'm a rare breed.

You and your sins must separate, or you and your God will never come together.

Everyone should try to scratch their name on the bomb of life.

There is no right more universal and more sacred, because lying so near the root of existence, than the right of men to their own labor.

Cruelty and fear shake hands together.

What in us the women leave uncultivated, children cultivate when we retain them near us.

I'm a huge admirer of Pope Francis and everything he stands for. I think he's an incredibly connected spiritual and authentic being.

Being successful at a very young age gave me the confidence and the capability to try out other things.

If your body is not in shape to sing [from the diaphragm] you will push and push but keep falling back on your throat to make the sound. This will ruin your voice.

Artists are kids. I feel like I'm six years old.

We are going through the eye of the needle; make sure you leave what you don't need behind
