To me, style is like your fingerprint. Nobody else has it.

I never do pictures that I've done before - but I really try not to. Whenever I get an assignment I try to think how to shoot this person for this story in this magazine at this point in time.

People aren't hiring just a picture, they're hiring someone they can work with. That plays a big role .

My brother used to say some people have an "inferiority simplex." It's not that they're under the delusion that they're inferior; they actually are inferior and they secretly know it.

There's no reason you'd shoot Mother Theresa and Newt Gingrich the same way.

I wanted to grow in terms of making pictures, not adapting to new software and technology. But that's the game now.

The last thing people want is a surprise, these days.

Digital held no romance for me at all. I hated it. I miss my big cameras. The working process, I miss it.

But you will trust me again, Annabelle. You will want me again, and we will be together. I will behave. You'll see. - Zacharel

We are a people. A people do not throw their geniuses away. If they do, it is our duty as witnesses for the future to collect them again for the sake of our children. If necessary, bone by bone.

Almost all of us have an elevator or two in our lives somewhere. We wait for them, we ride on them. We're annoyed by the wait but pleased with the lift.

I think that luxury has nothing to do with money, and everything to do with beauty.

The photograph as an object has a relationship to that which it represents something like the relationship the snake skin has to the snake that sheds it.

From this moment on I know exactly where my life will go: seems that all I really was doing was waiting for love.

Right before 'The Bourne Identity' came out, I hadn't been offered a movie in a year.

If we must fall, we should boldly meet the danger. [Lat., Si cadere necesse est, occurendum discrimini.]

Man is the only creature we know, that, when the term of his natural life is ended, leaves the memory of himself behind him.
