We do not see what is “real,” we see what we are.

I never, ever went out without my camera, even to buy bread.

I have never sought out the extraordinary or the scoop. I looked at what complemented my life. The beauty of the ordinary was always the source of my greatest emotions.

A good picture knows how to communicate the emotion that created it.

I have never separated form and content. The photo should have a meaning. But my photos are also more or less well constructed. If they had false notes, they stayed on the contact sheet.

A fine image is geometry, modulated by the heart

Leadership. Where the greatest also has a mentor.

The mind never sleeps. Though the body can be idle, there shall always be something for the mind to do! Do something with your mind then!

Just be patient. Let the game come to you. Don't rush. Be quick, but don't hurry.

Every president, if you watch what they look like when they come into office, you can see their hair turn white because it's such a hard job.

Once you've got a task to do, it's better to do it than live with the fear of it.

I'll need every ounce that I have to drive it through. Film and TV require that energy. Sometimes fight scenes can be pretty intense. When I was shooting "Heaven" it was truly guerrilla film-making.

Look for beauty in everything.

Until we eliminate the mentality of violence, we will not find the harmony within ourselves we're looking for.

Think globally, act locally.

A little flattery, like a warm bath and soft towel, will let you get along with yourself, lie down with yourself, and sleep.
