"Photography helps people to see."

"The challenge for me has first been to see things as they are, whether a portrait, a city street, or a bouncing ball. In a word, I have tried to be objective."

"The camera is no more an instrument of preservation, the image is."

"Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone it has to be itself."

"The art of living is discovering that every choice we make paints the canvas of our life."

"I would never want to live in L.A., and I made that decision years ago, so I never chose that path for myself, although I have much respect for those that do it at a high level."

"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man."

"If you make the unconditional commitment to reach your most important goals, if the strength of your decision is sufficient, you will find the way and the power to achieve your goals."
