Most Photographers Work Best Alone, Myself Included.

I Like To Think I Keep My Mind Open. When I Walk The Streets I Don't Look For Anything In Particular. I Come From A Philosophy That Believes You Shouldn't Have Preconceived Notions - That You Don't Need A Gimmick. That You Should Just Photograph What You React To - What You See.

To Me, Photography Is An Art Of Observation. It's About Finding Something Interesting In An Ordinary Place... I've Found It Has Little To Do With The Things You See And Everything To Do With The Way You See Them.

I Like Museums In Berlin A Lot, Especially In The Eastern Part. They're Extraordinarily Good.

Making People Laugh Is One Of The Highest Achievements You Can Have. And When You Can Make Someone Laugh And Cry, Alternatively, As Chaplin Does - Now That's The Highest Of All Personal Achievements. I Don't Know That I Aim For It, But I Recognize It As The Supreme Goal.

I See No Difference Between My Pictures That People Consider Amusing And The Rest. To Me, It's All Serious Work - They're Just A Reaction To What I See. I Don't Leave This Apartment In The Morning And Say To Myself 'today I'm Going To Be Funny And Tomorrow I'm Going To Be Sad.'
