When a photographer or a person sees your beauty, your inner beauty, it makes you feel special like, "Wow, someone saw that within me."

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.

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.

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.

As long as you keep secrets and suppress information, you are fundamentally at war with yourself.

Physicians of the Utmost Fame were called at once but when they came they answered as they took their fees 'There is no cure for this disease.'

I've done a lot of bad things. Use your imagination.

The strong man holds in a living blend strongly marked opposites.

I have friends come over and we read plays out loud and I make paintings and I just do things all the time just so I don't ever feel like I'm sitting around.

Jazz was uplifted by what I did.

I remember going to the theatre when I was little and the lights going down and just getting really scared about what was going to happen up there.

The people I'm working with tend to be people I know, who are my friends, and I like hanging out with them. There's nothing better than making a long-term project with your friends. It's just dreamy.

The difference in winning & losing is most often, not quitting.

There's not a note of mine that's worth the noting.
