A photograph is the illusion of a literal description of how the camera 'saw' a piece of time and space.

No one moment is most important. Any moment can be something.

Sometimes I feel like . . . the world is a place I bought a ticket to. It’s a big show for me, as if it wouldn’t happen if I wasn’t there with a camera.

Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.

Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.

You have a lifetime to learn technique. But I can teach you what is more important than technique, how to see; learn that and all you have to do afterwards is press the shutter.

I don't have anything to say in any picture. My only interest in photography is to see what something looks like as a photograph. I have no preconceptions.

The photograph should be more interesting or more beautiful than what was photographed

I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.

Photographers mistake the emotion they feel while taking the photo as a judgment that the photograph is good

For me the true business of photography is to capture a bit of reality (whatever that is) on film...if, later, the reality means something to someone else, so much the better.

Many times people will ask themselves, "where do I fit in?" This is my answer: You have the ability to fit where ever you are meant to be.

Great thoughts always come from the heart.

I have a very down-to-earth father. My wife is an actress and famous herself is more down-to-earth than anyone I know.

The real revelation of a player's character is not in his social life but in how he plays. In my social life I can hide my real personality.

There is no loftier mission than to approach the Divinity nearer than other men, and to disseminate the divine rays among mankind.

A bad boy can be very good for a girl.

Even with social media and where we are...everything is about the look.

Every actress has a line she'll draw, where she'll say, 'This I will do and this I won't.' For me, everything has to be important to the story and the director has to be able to tell me why.

Music will never stop - it can never stop. I will continue to sing for my fans till the end of time.

Education must not simply teach work-it must teach life.
