Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.

Photography cannot change the world, but it can show the world, especially when it changes.

Rather than a profession, photography has always been a passion for me, a passion closer to an obsession.

For me photography is not an intellectual process. It is a visual one.... Whether we like it or not, we are involved in a sensual business.

The eye is made to see and not to think.... A good photograph is a surprise. How could we plan and foresee a surprise? We just have to be ready.

Photography is about savoring life at 1/100th of a second.

Choice or freedom of choice is just an existential concern. But for photographers, it's a lifetime's preoccupation.

I'm often asked: Did you get what you wanted? But how should I know what I wanted? A photo is an encounter, a surprise.

Doubt always hovers nearby, but I take photographs the way a musician hums. Looking is like breathing. So when luck turns my way and offers me a good picture, joy is surely nigh.

My first reaction at the very idea of this interview was to refuse to talk about photography. Why dissect and comment a process that is essentially a spontaneous reaction to a surprise?

People sometimes get so lost in their own beliefs that they fail to gain truth and understanding. You can't get the whole picture just by relying on your own perception. Never be afraid of the truth.

In life, we make the best decisions we can with the information we have on hand.

Our worldly wisdom has made us calloused and hard. Our natural wisdom, as the Scriptures teach, comes not from God, but is earthly, sensual, and devilish.

Rock stars are like sports stars: If you snap your ankle, you're done.

When the mind is silent and quiet, then inner energies wake up and work miracles on your behalf without any conscious effort on your part.

Champions aren't made in the ring, they are merely recognized there.

When I perform, I lose myself. I'm in total control of that stage. I don't think about anything. I know what I want to do from the moment I step out there and I love every minute of it.

Cyberspace is acting like God and deals with the idea of God who is, sees and hears everything.

We need to listen to consumers' needs

Life is a highway. I want to ride it all night long
