I went into photography because it seemed like the perfect vehicle for commenting on the madness of today's existence.

Beauty and the devil are the same thing.

To make pictures big is to make them more powerful.

Sell the public flowers... things that they can hang on their walls without being uptight.

I am selfish, but that's an attribute that all artists possess.

I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn’t. And that’s a tough place to be because you’re never satisfied.

If I am at a party, I want to be at the party. Too many photographers use the camera to avoid participating in things. They become professional observers.

When I work, and in my art, I hold hands with God.

The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.

If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up.

I never liked photography. Not for the sake of photography. I like the object. I like the photographs when you hold them in your hand.

You'll learn more in a day talking to customers than a week of brainstorming, a month of watching competitors, or a year of market research.

All of us experience a gap between our minds and the reality of time—that's why we suffer.

People aren't really aware of what's happening in other places.

As love without esteem is capricious and volatile; esteem without love is languid and cold.

I enjoy adapting my own work, or anybody's work. I like to adapt books.

The journey has been a parody of my life recently: rushing, waiting, wandering, feeling lost and losing sleep, wondering if I'm getting anywhere.

If right now, culture's so divisive, it just leaves these millions of people like me out.

I can change a tire, but I couldn't change a fuse on the computer panel on my car.

I don't lie and cheat, but I don't always avoid actions that would be lying and cheating if someone else did them.

I never think about a photo before I start it. I try to let my mind relax, and then when I get there I do it.
