No amount of toying with shades of print or with printing papers will transform a commonplace photograph into anything other than a commonplace photograph.

Photography is not a sport. It has no rules. Everything must be dared and tried!

I am not interested in rules or conventions. Photography is not a sport.

A photographer must be prepared to catch and hold on to those elements which give distinction to the subject or lend it atmosphere.

Photography has no rules, it is not a sport. It is the result which counts, no matter how it is achieved.

The photographer must possess and preserve the receptive faculties of a child who looks at the world for the first time.

And only the photographer himself knows the effect he wants. He should know by instinct, grounded in experience, what subjects are enhanced by hard or soft, light or dark treatment.

Photography is still a very new medium and everything must be tried and dare.

I consider it essential that the photographer should do his own printing and enlarging. The final effect of the finished print depends so much on these operations.

Photographers should follow their own judgment, and not the fads and dictates of others.

I've never played anyone but myself on screen.

Don't clock anybody, let them all clock you, Don't be down with anybody, let them all be down with you. Stay self-managed, self-kept, self-taught, Be your own man; don't be borrowed, don't be bought.

I want to be a part of something, and when we define movies now based on how they do on the weekend. We live in a society of "thumbs up, thumbs down."

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

Confession is the sacrament of the tenderness of God, his way of embracing us.

I feel like a wet seed wild in the hot blind earth.
