The world makes up my pictures, not me.

I always wanted to be a photographer. I was fascinated with the materials, but I never dreamed I would be having this much fun. I imagined something much less elusive, much more mundane.

You don’t have to go looking for pictures. The material is generous. You go out and the pictures are staring at YOU.

I retired from everything except work.

... photographs are so loaded with information. They're remarkable. As I said, you get both the tree and the forest.

The camera is not merely a reflecting pool and the photographs are not exactly the mirror, mirror on the wall that speaks with a twisted tongue.

Photographs also show the way that the camera sees. It's not just me or you or anybody else. The camera does something that is different from our own setting.

Photography is a generous medium.

At first, my presence in my photos was fascinating and disturbing. But as time passed and I was more a part of other ideas in my photos, I was able to add a giggle to those feelings.

Earth changes but thy soul and God stand sure.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

With the exception of Obama's belated lame-duck behavior, the US has always, in practice, supported Israel unquestionably.

Traditional morality ... does not teach us how to let the other follow his or her own path, meet with whomever he or she desires, go where he or she wants.

Sharing is having more.

Purify yourself from the attributes of self, so that you may see your own pure, untarnished essence.

I'm going to keep living my life the way I've been living my life, and nothing is going to change that even if the Olympics are coming up.

I'm an all-or-nothing kind of person, and when I become interested in something, I give it my all.
