I don't even like photography at all. I'm just doing photography until I can do something better.

I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.

My desire is to preserve the sense of people’s lives, to endow them with the strength and beauty I see in them. I want the people in my pictures to stare back.

For me it is not a detachment to take a picture. It's a way of touching somebody - it's a caress… I think that you can actually give people access to their own soul.

I always thought if I photographed anyone or anything enough, I would never lose the person, I would never lose the memory, I would never lose the place. But the pictures show me how much I've lost.

Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures.

I knew from a very early age, that what I saw on tv had nothing to do with real life. So I wanted to make a record of real life. That included having a camera with me at all times.

I just get inspired to take a picture by the beauty and vulnerability of my friends.

My work is mostly about memory. It is very important to me that everybody that I have been close to in my life I make photographs of them.

I think the wrong things are kept private

My work shows the beauty in so many different kinds of people because I never photograph anyone who I don't think is beautiful. I never take an intentionally mean picture.

And the uniqueness of every momentseeks the path from pain to a pearl.

I shot the first planet this afternoon.

I have crushes on women all the time. I don't have intimate relationships with them, but I find women beautiful.

I'm loved unconditionally, for no other reason than simply because I exist.

Just for the record, how I feel right now is very terrific.

My father taught me to read music and play the piano-but not well, even though people have said that I'm a natural musician

I am nothing! If you could know the dream of what I would like to be, you would realize how little I have accomplished.

I was as happy as a fish in water, and I could have stayed in that room for ever, have never left that place.

Money spent in complying with a regulation cannot be spent again on marketing or product research.

It's nice to come into an atmosphere that's uplifting and good.
