I love the people I photograph. I mean, they're my friends. I've never met most of them or I don't know them at all, yet through my images I live with them.

I'm known for taking pictures very close, and the older I get, the closer I get.

If you can smell the street by looking at the photo, it's a street photograph

I'm photographing myself out there. Not myself physically, but mentally. It's my take on the world.

Everything isn't black and white, but for me it might as well be.

I always said it kept me alive - photography - because it did. It was my catharsis.

There are never beginnings and endings in my work; everything just fits into place after a while.

Men are idolaters and want something to look at and kiss and hug or throw themselves down before they always did they always will and if you don't make it of wood you must make it of words.

Consequently many large railroad systems of heavy capitalization bid fair to run into difficulties on the first serious falling off in general business.

Every rock song is some variation of 'Pull down your pants'

Everyone has an equal right to inequality.

Almost everyone I meet is successful because of doing a lot of things right, and almost everyone I meet is successful in spite of some behavior that defies common sense.

Mt. Everest of Earth is 8.8 km tall; Mt. Olympus of Mars is 22 km tall. Every time you see a giant, you must know that that giant might be just a dwarf somewhere else!

I don't like to Google myself. I try and avoid it whenever I can.

People talk about opportunity knocking, but the gate was always swinging in the breeze before I got to the door.

Love transforms one into what one loves.

I am convinced that in the arts, committees are useless.
