I am a passionate lover of the snapshot, because of all photographic images it comes closest to truth.

Photography is the easiest art, which perhaps makes it the hardest.

Photography through the camera is an instrument of detection. We photograph not only what we know, but also what we don't know.

I have often been asked what I wanted to prove by my photographs. The answer is, I don’t want to prove anything. They prove to me, and I am the one who gets the lesson.

Never take a picture of anything you are not passionately interested in.

It is the surface I am interested in. Because the surface is the inside.

Photography starts with the projection of the photographer, his understanding of life and himself into the picture.

New images surround us everywhere. They are invisible only because of sterile routine convention and fear.

Don't shoot til the subject hits you in the pit of your stomach.

They say my prints are bad, darling they should see my negatives

Speed, the fundamental condition of the activities of our day is the power of photography, indeed the modern art of today, the art of the split second.

Out here you need to live in the moments. Watch the world. You're a young man, Jal, a child who's refused to grow up. Do it now, or you'll die a young man.

We never realize the power of real love unless we witness or experience a transaction, because real love costs.

A chap’s impending death has a way of focusing the mind.

I feel incompetent to perform duties...which have been so unexpectedly thrown upon me.

It took me years to live down Dracula and convince the film producers that I would play almost any other type of role.

Postmodernism is an academic theory, originating in academia with an academic elite, not in the world of women and men, where feminist theory is rooted.

I do think I'm a character actor.

If someone had told me in 1963 that one day I would be in Congress, I would have said, 'You're crazy. You don't know what you're talking about.'

I thought, I might not look my best, I've forgotten half the words to my songs and I'm suffering from post-traumatic stress, but I've just got to get out there and do it.

Expressing my feelings and then the opportunity to share it with others is just such a gift.
