What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera... they are made with the eye, heart and head.

One eye of the photographer looks wide open through the viewfinder, the other, the closed looks into his own soul.

To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.

Sharpness is a bourgeois concept

In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv.

Photography is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality. It's a way of life.

For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.

Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

You just have to live and life will give you pictures.

To Be Trained Is To Be Strengthened

As we say in the American Institute of Wine and Food, small helpings, no seconds. A little bit of everything. No snacking. And have a good time.

I like auditioning! A lot of people hate it, but I like it.

This body is breaking down, but I am not.

A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy, but won't cross the street to vote in a national election.

It is about what you do when nobody is watching. Can you always stay on your grind, or are you only a star when the lights are on you and everybody is watching?

For a long time I was trying to be poppier and younger. I didn't want to be on public radio or do any of that stuff for older people. Then I realized that that is exactly what I listen to.

If you ask me how I want to be remembered, it is as a winner.

Directing is a huge amount of work with very little payoff, and a quarter of the money, and nine times more time spent.

I know and all the world knows, that revolutions never go backwards.
