I have been photographing people dancing for 20 or 30 years now, and I think I will eventually do a book of dancing photos.

All photography is propaganda.

Photography is the simplest thing in the world, but it is incredibly complicated to make it really work.

With photography, I like to create a fiction out of reality. I try and do this by taking society's natural prejudice and giving this a twist.

I think the ordinary is a very under-exploited aspect of our lives because it is so familiar.

You have to take a lot of bad pictures. Dont' be afraid to take bad pictures... You have to take a lot of bad pictures in order to know when you've got a good one.

You can read a lot about a country by looking at its beaches: across cultures, the beach is that rare public space in which all absurdities and quirky national behaviors can be found.

The easy bit is picking up a camera and pointing and shooting. But then you have to decide what it is you’re trying to say and express.

You can't learn passion, either you've got it or you haven't.

We are drowning in images. Photography is used as a propaganda tool, which serves to sell products and ideas. I use the same approach to show aspects of reality.

I am what I photograph.

To reform the world - means to reform upbringing...

I feel it respectful to observe and practice new customs, if I am to ever understand what it truly means to be human.

My life has crept so long on a broken wing Through cells of madness, haunts of horror and fear, That I come to be grateful at last for a little thing.

I would be quite happy to see the Northern Alliance steam across northern Afghanistan and take Kabul.

The alleviation of human error, whether design or intrinsically human, continues to be the most important problem facing aerospace safety.

You don't want to be the best at what you do, you want to be the only one.

Democracy, as I understand it, requires me to sacrifice myself for the masses, not to them. Who knows not that if you would save the people, you must often oppose them?

I play basketball all the time. Me and my band play every week on the road. That's something that I've never really given up since high school.

I'm attracted to the underrated characters.

I had proof that I had five senses, that I knew how to get myself to function! And then I lost my childhood.
