You cannot live when you are untouchable. Life is vulnerability.

The wandering photographer sees the same show that everyone else sees. He, however, stops to watch it.

The most important thing is to go out and see the stars, not to see them in books.

I think that the photos that we like were made when the photographer knew how to disappear. If there were a secret, certainly that would be it.

To me, photography is like a quest, or a pilgrimage, or a hunt. I love painting, I love music, but photography is what has allowed me to get outside of myself.

Millions of unnecessary photos are taken every day. People stand before the Pyramids and photograph them, when for three cents they could buy postcards which show them much better.

There is a word we haven't used yet: virginity... To make a photograph, the plate must be virgin, but your eye as well.

Taking photographs is not something that happens only in a moment I press the button. It is a full-time occupation. For me there is difference between leisure and work.

Because I know war... because I know the horror, I don't want to add to it. .........After the war, we felt the need to celebrate life, and for me photography was the means to achieve this.

To live, to experience the world, to communicate with a camera, all these are interrelated and cannot be separated from everyday live.

Was it the same light that enchanted the first photographers? It is the same, and it is still brand new - it is something that never wears out.

Magic is always there. Sometimes it just takes an artist to find it and show the rest of us where to look.

If you've ever seen album covers for Arab female pop stars, it looks like the designer was paid five dollars to make them, and the extreme femaleness is astounding.

He looked like he'd just seen the Ghost of You Better Shut Your Mouth.

If everybody in the world saw a therapist, we would have a better world.

Painting is of course multifarious, and for all of us the goal is, gaining control without impeding the creative process.

There are subtle things you can do without crossing the line. If I see I've got up my opponent's nose, I will be over the moon. Job done.

As a splendid palace deserted by its inmates looks like a ruin, so does a man without character, all his material belongings notwithstanding.

We're making the music we love, and hopefully the fans are gonna love it, too.

The beginning of every government starts with the education of our youth.

I think it is essential that America does not stumble into a stupid war with Iran.
