A kind of golden hour one remembers for a life time... Everything was touched with magic.

Work is something you can count on, a trusted, lifelong friend who never deserts you.

Photography is a very subtle thing. You must let the camera take you by the hand, as it were, and lead you into your subject.

A burning purpose attracts others who are drawn along with it and help fulfill it.

To understand another human being you must gain some insight into the conditions which made him what he is.

Nothing attracts me like a closed door. I cannot let my camera rest until I have pried it open.

The camera is a remarkable instrument. Saturate yourself with your subject, and the camera will all but take you by the hand and point the way.

If you want to photograph a man spinning, give some thought to why he spins. Understanding for a photographer is as important as the equipment he uses.

If you banish fear, nothing terribly bad can happen to you.

"Utter truth is essential, and that is what stirs me when I look through the camera."

Ego is the central figure of our personal history, based upon the past and looking into the future. Ego is the deepest dream of the Consciousness.

Your walk with God does not depend on people, places, things or events.

The dream - you never achieve it. The excitement of life lies in the hope, in the striving for something rather than the attainment.

As a magician, I think everything is possible. And I think if something is done by one person it can be done by others.

If I let myself sink into depression, I won't be able to get out. And then I'll be awfully unhappy. I just have to turn my face to the light and walk on. And trust that things will be all right.

Don't leave home without your left hemisphere

A lot of the issues I faced in junior high was what got me into animation. It was easier to sit on the side and draw cartoons than to engage with people.

You don't talk about paintings, you look at them.

Every actor. every director, everybody needs an Oscar. You have to have that little statue in Hollywood or else you are nothing.

Opening for Louis C.K. during his "Hilarious" tour was a great experience for me. He is the generation just ahead of me, because he started so young.
