I'm not an artist. An artist makes an object. Me, it's not an object, I work in history, I'm a storyteller.

It's more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera

The picture is not made by the photographer, the picture is more good or less good in function of the relationship that you have with the people you photograph.

The language that photography has is a formal language. Any photographer is doing something formal. If it's formal, then it must be an aesthetic way to communicate.

In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.

I don't believe a person has a style. What people have is a way of photographing what is inside them. What is there comes out.

I believe that the average person can help a lot, not by giving material goods but by participating, by being part of the discussion, by being truly concerned about what is going on in the world.

I try with my pictures to raise a question, to provoke a debate, so that we can discuss problems together and come up with solutions.

What I want is to create a discussion about what is happening around the world and to provoke some debate with these pictures. Nothing more than this.

I tell a little bit of my life to them, and they tell a little of theirs to me. The picture itself is just the tip of the iceberg.

I am, of comics I was never as big of a fan as I probably could have been I suppose but I'm definitely a fan of science fiction fantasy. My interests were in fantasy more than comics growing up.

Let the meek inherit the earth -- they have it coming to them.

These two enormous forces - truth and meaning - are at war in today's world... And something sooner or later has to give.

I think any kind of hiatus one takes in an artistic journey is going to make a huge difference. The pause will inform the choices that you make.

Having faith, beliefs, and convictions is a great thing, but your life is measured by the actions you take based upon them.

I'm very protective of my heart

A poet needs a pen, a painter a brush, and a director an army.

And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds and binding with briars my joys and desires. (from 'The Garden of Love')
