Sometimes I'm amazed by how much you can do as a photographer.

My family was very unhappy about my becoming a photographer - profoundly and deeply unhappy.

I like it when one is not certain what one sees. When we do not know why the photographer has taken a picture and when we do not know why we are looking at it, all of a sudden we discover something that we start seeing. I like this confusion.

I'm sometimes mystified by people who keep diaries. I never thought of my existence as being that important.

In order to build a career and to be successful, one has to be determined. One has to be ambitious. I much prefer to drink coffee, listen to music, and to paint when I feel like it.

Being ignored is a great privilege. That is how I think I learned to see what others do not see and to react to situations differently. I simply looked at the world, not really prepared for anything.
