My way of photographing is my way of life. I photograph from my experience, my way of seeing things.

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

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.

How can I blame the cherry blossomsFor rejecting this floating world And drifting away as the wind calls them

Review our priorities, ask the question; what's the best use of our time right now?

We live in a country where a small number of people have incredible wealth and power. America has more income and wealth inequality than any other major country.

There are three marks of a superior man: being virtuous, he is free from anxiety; being wise, he is free from perplexity; being brave, he is free from fear.

You've got to stop letting women slip drugs into your mouth, Dex, it's unhygienic. And dangerous. One day it'll be a cyanide capsule.

Every man kills the things that he loves. Some with a look, some with flattery, the coward with a kiss.

Gain is delusion; loss is enlightenment.

Why do we never expect dull people to be rascals?

Pity is a benign form of abuse.

A man lies upon the floor, spreads his arms, and transforms himself into a ship of a thousand sails.
