I try to use whatever I know about photography to be of service to the people I'm photographing.

I don't believe there's any such thing as objective reality. It's only reality as we experience it.

Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.

Any film which views the darker side of life, which is death with a sense of humor, is very much to my taste.

I’m a standup comedian who can’t drive. I have never learned. I don’t trust my hand-eye coordination.
