It definitely helps if I can wear a jacket, because I can have a camera in my pocket. When we're on tour or if I go travel somewhere by myself, that's when I take the most photos.

As I've learned in the past few years, Mali is home to some of the most incredible musicians in the world.

My favorite photos are the ones where people don't really see me. I'm more interested in looking at people looking at things.

The majority of my photos are taken while traveling, because everything feels new and exciting initially. Taking photos is like a way to make sense of the overwhelming.

I'm a big fan of Henri Cartier-Bresson, the French photographer who had that whole "decisive moment" approach to taking pictures, of having multiple elements line up within the frame.

Photography has always been important to me for that, being able to make sense of something or understand something or remember something or laugh at something.

The fact that so many people whose livelihood depends on being able to play, it's just crazy.

Faith is a strong fortress.

The man who stands by and says nothing, when the peril of his government is discussed, can not be misunderstood. If not hindered, he is sure to help the enemy.

Leaders of men are later remembered less for the usefulness of what they have achieved than for the sweep of their endeavors.

It's always our touches of vanity that manage to betray us.

You will, if you're wise and know the art of travel, let yourself go on the stream of the unknown and accept whatever comes in the spirit in which the gods may offer it.

People may not tell you how they feel about you, but they always show you. Pay attention.

Writing a book set in New Mexico was partially a way to express my own love for the state, and partially a way to prudently follow the advice to write what you know.

I like to be open with journalists and I like to be honest. I hate being disingenuous because that's really uncomfortable for me; I don't excel at doing that.

Some sacrifices are sound; the rest are mine

As stylists, we're groundshakers and daymakers. I was always in hair.
