I am always stimulated by people. Almost never by ideas.

My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.

All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.

To be an artist, you have to nurture the things that most people discard.

Start with a style and you are in chains, start with an idea and you are free.

If each photograph steals a bit of the soul, isn't it possible that I give up pieces of mine every time I take a picture?

The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion.

I think all art is about control, the encounter between control and uncontrollable.

A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed

Anything is an art if you do it at the level of an art.

He glosses over and doesn't even tell the truth....Here is a guy who is the ultimate flip-flopper running for president, and he's attacking me for not being principled? That doesn't wash.

...great feeling of enthusiasm..this human component began to fade away, leaving only that supernatural enthusisam which must always be at the root of our perseverance.
