I don't know how to say easily what I learned. One thing I can say I learned is how amazing photography could be.

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.

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

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

We shouldn't live as if [other worlds] mattered more than this life in this world, because where we are is always the most important place.

Nothing is hurt unless you are negative thinker

I'll never be a non-stumbler. I'll be a forgiven stumbler, but never a non-stumbler.

Television of course actually started in Britain in 1936, and it was a monopoly, and there was only one broadcaster and it operated on a license which is not the same as a government grant.

The power of thought, of idea, is incommensurable, is immeasurable. The world is dominated by thought.

I firmly believe that nuclear war is absolutely impossible. I don't think anyone in the world wants a nuclear war - not even the Russians.

Man cannot measure the bounds nor fathom the depths of divine forgiveness.

When you're good at making excuses, it's hard to excel at anything else.

I still feel like I have so much to learn. I love that feeling, that next time I go to set, I will be terrified again. I don't want it to be any other way.

Anytime we can save lives or prevent the destruction of property, we should do it.
