I sometimes find the surface interesting. To say that the mark of a good portrait is whether you get them or get the soul - I don't think this is possible all of the time.

I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.

One doesn't stop seeing. One doesn't stop framing. It doesn't turn off and turn on. It's on all the time.

Everyone has a point of view. Some people call it style, but what we're really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures.

When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.

A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.

Things happen in front of you. That's perhaps the most wonderful and mysterious aspect of photography.

A lot can be told from what happens in between the main moments.

I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.

I feel a responsibility to my backyard. I want it to be taken care of and protected.

What is different is not necessarily dangerous, and what is similar is not always secure.

There is neither father, nor mother, nor son, nor any other person whatsoever who can embrace the object beloved with so great a love as that wherewith God embraceth the soul.

No, Mary had no illusions about romance. Falling in love was a pretty name for it, that was all.

I don't have a six-pack. Maybe I don't even want a six-pack. It doesn't sound very appealing.

If I weren’t getting paid or didn’t have a character like Wolverine to maintain, I would just be a tall, lean, fit guy.

A life without love, no matter how many other things we have, is an empty, meaningless one.

I think I should understand that better, if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.

Providentially, learned habits can be unlearned, especially in the context of moral groups.

As a rule we perceive what we expect to perceive... The unexpected is usually not received at all.

Few can accept happiness if it means change. We want the life we have now, only happier.
