The images of war inspired me to create, to go to different situations and communities, to document the human side of people, to show a side that we don't see.

For me, the stars are the invisible people on the street that people don't really get a chance to know.

What I strive to do through my work, is to teach compassion. You need to have a lot of it, in this day and time, and it's lacking.

When you look at my photos, just look into the eyes of my subjects. The eyes say so much.

The photograph is to a great degree evidence of the conversation I had with the person. It's a part of my visual diary.

Photography is humbling, it really is, and it really allows for me to atone for some of the missteps I've made throughout the course of my life.

I place myself in situations where a lot of people are going to be, and bring a particular body of work that reflects the people already there. You have to study your subject.

Sometimes we are just divided, but we still, for the most part, we have similar hopes and dreams.

I think that's what the war photography did for me. It showed me the human side of people and how certain circumstances can change people's lives.

For the most part, as a society, we are not happy with ourselves.

My camera is my compass; it's guided me to so many different places.

With the wings of imagination, don't be afraid to fly.

The bigger the words the weaker the voice.

He had traded the lives of people he did not know for those of men he did.That was, he supposed, human nature.

Photography is my method for defining the confusing world that rushes constantly toward me. It is my defensive attempt to reduce our daily chaos to a set of understandable images.

Every nation has to either be with us or against us. Those who harbor terrorists or who finance them, uh, are going to pay a price.

I sold my soul for the second time, cause' the man don't pay me.

There's no such thing as "just a domestic".

Art is a path on which we honour our world.

Here is my music. It is all I have to tell you how I feel. Know that your love keeps my love strong.
