Imogen Cunningham

I turn people into human beings by not making them into gods.

Everybody who does anything for the public can be criticized. There's always someone who doesn't like it.

I never stopped photographing. There were a couple of years when I didn't have a darkroom, but that didn't stop me from photographing.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.

I think that, in almost all human beings, there is buried a profound tribal instinct that makes us very susceptible to being aroused to patriotic fervour.

I'm interested in the psychological exploration of human nature, and it just happens to come in the form of film-making.
