You must not think of yourself as looking at the stage from the audience. You must think of it as theatre in the round and look at it from all sides.

If the light is great in front of you, you should turn around and see what it is doing behind you.

If you are out there shooting, things will happen for you. If you're not out there, you'll only hear about it.

Try to go out empty and let your images fill you up.

If you want to make more interesting pictures, become a more interesting person.

Always carry a camera, it's tough to shoot a picture without one.

Photography is an act of love.

The drama of light exists not only in what is in the light, but also in what is left dark. If the light is everywhere, the drama is gone.

Always shoot it now. It won't be the same when you go back.

You are responsible for every part of your image, even the parts you’re not interested in.

Failing is not a problem. Not trying is a problem.

I'll show you Obama's birth certificate when you show me Sarah Palin's high school diploma.

The audience requires not information but drama.

I want to know living love. And I don't want to wait for it.

I was never afraid of failure. I realized that I was responsible for my own success and that every day offers a new beginning and I was confident in my ability to improve.

It's the music that kept us all intact, kept us from going crazy.

It is important that the United States remain a two-party system. I'm a fellow who likes small parties and the Republican Party can't be too small to suit me.

I was going to be valedictorian in elementary school, but I got into too many fights, and they made me salutatorian. I was smart back in the day. Now I'm just an idiot.

The way I take in the world is by seeing it; that is very much evident in the songs that I write.

I work best when a little scared, when there's so much more than the lines to think about.

It's something that will never be finished. Something that I can keep developing...and adding to.
