The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!

I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.

One doesn't stop seeing. One doesn't stop framing. It doesn't turn off and turn on. It's on all the time.

Everyone has a point of view. Some people call it style, but what we're really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures.

When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.

A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.

Things happen in front of you. That's perhaps the most wonderful and mysterious aspect of photography.

A lot can be told from what happens in between the main moments.

I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.

I feel a responsibility to my backyard. I want it to be taken care of and protected.

Directors, producers can make you look good or make you look bad.

My family can always tell when I'm well into a novel because the meals get very crummy.

If your ideas are bigger than the town you're in, you've got to get out of there.

Death sanctifies. It's solemn enough to make its own shrine, where it happens.

I can but die... and I believe in God. Let me try and wait His will in silence.

That's what makes best friends. It's not whether or not you live on the same block or go to the same school, but how you feel about each other in your hearts.

Every one should find some suitable time, day or night, to sink into his depths, each according to his own fashion. Not every one is able to engage in contemplative prayer.

Today's religions are nothing but the long-lived mythologies!

I believe in the kindness of others, and that I must love them without fear.

Even idiots can grow up a little bit. It should be a bit more subdued. ... The first celebration should be subdued, and the fourth one should be crazy.
