Within every man and woman a secret is hidden, and as a photographer it is my task to reveal it if I can.

If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity.

The trouble with photographing beautiful women is that you never get into the dark room until after they've gone.

If you have a block of ballistics gelatin and a high-speed camera, pretty soon somebody gets a gun!

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
