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

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.

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.

Part of the role of photography is to exaggerate, and that is an aspect that I have to puncture. I do that by showing the world as I really find it.

Basically there can be no categories such as 'religious' art and 'secular' art, because all true art is incarnational, and therefore 'religious.

Declaring our intentions for a safer and kinder world is the obvious first step toward attaining those goals.

Adventures, I reflected, are all very fine but a certain amount of civilised comfort forms the true kernel of our desires.

Netanyahu is pressured easily, gets into a panic, and loses his senses... to run a country like Israel a leader needs to have reason and judgment and nerves of steel, two traits he does not have.

There is no difference between saving lives and extending lives, because in both cases we are giving people the chance of more life.

The whole format of entertainment that I did seems to be fading away. The music business of today is completely different when you see the videos and the music.

People say Cream gave birth to heavy metal. If that's so, we should have had an abortion.

If you do not love Christ, let me tell you plainly what is the reason. You have no sense of debt to him.

External things are not the problem. It's your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.

Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
