Everybody just needs to realize that when you write something you're just in one mood. I was told I needed to write it and it was overdue; I don't even remember what day it was.
I create situations that do not exist. I seek the truth from fiction.
Very often I say to myself: I would like to make a photo where nothing happens. But in order to eliminate, there has to be something to begin with. For nothing to happen, something has to happen first.
I believe that the essence of photography is black and white. Color is but a deviance.
[Photography] is always like a state of grace, like the appearance of something that I hadn't foreseen, that surprises me and stops me. If I only did what I had in mind, there would be no emotion. It would be like keeping one's eyes shut rather than open, like theorizing rather than seeing.
Why should there be only one sort of photography? I want to create images with elements of my choosing, narrative or evocative. . . I give myself a literary frame, I tell a story.
The photos that interest me most, I can't say why I took them. I think my gift is that I still work with a certain amount of unconsciousness.

We'd forgive most things if we knew the facts.
It is not strange to me that persons of the fair sex should like, in all things about them, the handsomeness for which they find themselves most liked.
The importance of music extends well beyond its performance.
