There is no refuge from memory and remorse in this world. The spirits of our foolish deeds haunt us, with or without repentance.
I do what I feel, that's all. I am an ordinary photographer working for his own pleasure. That's all I've ever done.
The camera is my tool. Through it I give a reason to everything around me.
I still regard myself as an amateur today and I hope that's what I'll stay until the end of my life. Because I'm forever a beginner who discovers the world again and again.
Seeing is not enough; you have to feel what you photograph
You do not have to imagine things; reality gives you all you need.
The photographer's art is a continuous discovery which requires patience and time.
I feel like there's not as many bands anymore. It's more like there's a front-person and a band supporting them, solo-type spirits that have a look, a vibe, a message, a voice and a style. I was talking about it with a journalist in Europe; he was like, "You're a democracy; everyone in the band does stuff. " There's not a lot of bands I can think of that still have it so every member of the band has an equal say. I was like, dude, you're right. I can't really think of any right now. There might be one or two leaders in them, but there are not a lot of bands like that anymore.
Eternity is the sun mixed with the sea
Newspapers are the schoolmasters of the common people.
I still have a passion for the music, which is such a beautiful thing. I still wake up in the middle of the night out of a dream and have a melody in my head, and run to my piano.
