I came to running late. It was something I had always wanted to do, but I always end up getting hurt. It didn't occur to me that I could actually slow down and walk a little bit!

One of the things that fascinated me about modeling was that you had the freedom to look any way you wanted.

For me, it works to my advantage when people think I'm stupid. If somebody who disdains you or wants to control you underestimates you, you can play their game right back.

Life is a marathon, not a sprint. It's about taking a bigger-picture approach.

I'm a working stiff, baby, just like everybody else.

In my 20 years as a photographer, covering conflicts from Bosnia to Gaza to Iraq to Afghanistan, injured civilians and soldiers have passed through my life many times.
