You Should Never Reveal Your True Age.

If The Photographer Is Interested In The People In Front Of His Lens, And If He Is Compassionate, It's Already A Lot. The Instrument Is Not The Camera But The Photographer.

I Don't See Anybody As Either Ordinary Or Extraordinary. I See Them Simply As People In Front Of My Lens.

It Doesn't Matter If You Use A Box Camera Or You Use A Leica; The Important Thing Is What Motivates You When You Are Photographing.

I Realise That I Had The Best Of Serious Picture Journalism. There Was An Innocence In Our Approach, Especially In The 1950s And 1960s When We Naively Believed That By Holding A Mirror Up To The World We Could Help - No Matter How Little - To Make People Aware Of The Human Condition.

If A Photographer Cares About The People Before The Lens And Is Compassionate, Much Is Given. It Is The Photographer, Not The Camera, That Is The Instrument.
