Cameras intrigued me.

What I know bores me.

Nobody exists in a vacuum.

I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.

All things are photographable.

A photograph can look any way.

I was a hired gun, more or less.

I have to photograph where I am.

I pretty much know what I'm doing.

When I’m photographing I see life.

I have no expectations. None at all.

People are just dumb. They misunderstand.

I don't go around looking at my pictures.

I generally deal with something happening.

I don't have anything to say in any picture.

Everybody's entitled to their own experience.

There are no photographs while I'm reloading .

At times I'd much rather talk about other work.

There is no special way a photograph should look.

My only interest in photographing is photography.

Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .

If you didn’t take the picture, you weren’t there.

Great photography is always on the edge of failure.

I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it.

At times people in the press were also useful to me.

Every photograph is a battle of form versus content.

When I look at photographs, I couldn't care less "how."

I sometimes think I'm a mechanic. I just take pictures.

I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.

Actually, the animal pictures came about in a funny way.

I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.

I don't know if I'm really the fastest. It doesn't matter.

I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.

There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described.

No one moment is most important. Any moment can be something.

I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs.

Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.

It's very easy to make successful photographs - it's very easy.

The world isn't tidy; it's a mess. I don't try to make it neat.

You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.

I photograph what interests me. I'm not saying anything different.

I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.

There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.

Photos have no narrative content. They only describe light on surface.

I have a burning desire to see what things look like photographed by me.

Language is basic to all of our existences in this world. We depend on it.

A photograph can look anyway. It just depends basically on what you photograph.

The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.

The camera's dumb, it don't [sic] care who's pushing the button. It doesn't know.

Sometimes photographers mistake emotion for what makes a great street photograph.
