For me, the most important thing I learned was just honing my eye. I think I had a good eye.

Many people who excel are self-taught.

I like form and shape and strength in pictures.

Regardless of whether you speak the language or are familiar with a culture, the picture should hold up.

Within two hours of where I live, you have mountains and desert as location. I like the natural elements that abstract into light, texture, shape and shadow.

It's important to let your subjects be themselves.

The education, the cultural awareness, is different in Europe, especially in France, from that in the United States. So I think the public will be much more appreciative of many images.

Even though I didn't get a business degree, I enjoyed learning about economics.

What I particularly liked was that, coming from California and not being involved in the New York scene, I developed my personal way, in my own way, at my own pace.

Generally, the French highly promote culture and the arts, and photography is in their blood.

I was an economics major, which I enjoyed because I had a good business sense.

You greatest gift is who you are, not just what you do.

Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.

We know that once we stop learning and call ourselves learned, we become useless members of the scientific society.

It is high time the ideal of success should be replaced with the ideal of service.

Wrong is wrong; no fallacy can hide it, no subterfuge cover it so shrewdly but that the All-Seeing One will discover and punish it.

Although our eyes can not penetrate the darkness of the future, scientific geopolitical analysis enables us to make certain predictions.

Fantasy is the oldest form of literature and science fiction is just a new twist on it.

What I really hope for, ultimately, is that the closet will be a non-factor in American politics in a couple of decades.

Medicines are only fit for old people.

To happy folkAll heaviest words no more of meaning bearThan far-off bells saddening the Summer air.
