The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.

Nothing is ever the same as they said it was.

Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding.

You see someone on the street, and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw.

My favorite thing is to go where I've never been.

I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them.

I work from awkwardness. By that I mean I don't like to arrange things. If I stand in front of something, instead of arranging it, I arrange myself.

The more specific you are, the more general it'll be.

Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats.

A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.

When you grow up your mother says, 'Wear rubbers or you'll catch cold.' When you become an adult you discover that you have the right not to wear rubbers and to see if you catch cold or not. It's something like that.

The thing that's important to know is that you never know. You're always sort of feeling your way.

Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory.

I never have taken a picture I've intended. They're always better or worse.

I always thought of photography as a naughty thing to do - that was one of my favorite things about it, and when I first did it, I felt very perverse.

Men are but children of a larger growth, Our appetites as apt to change as theirs, And full as craving too, and full as vain.

A picture is a secret about a secret, the more it tells you the less you know.

Photographing a culture in the here and now often means photographing the intersection of the present with the past.

Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies.

The PhD system is the real root of the evil of academic snobbery. People who have PhDs consider themselves a priesthood, and inventors generally don't have PhDs.

Talent is a gift that can be given, and it can be taken away. We have to appreciate that.

I'm a pure spirit, ha ha ha!

Set excellent performance as your standard and strive to achieve it each day.

The big thing in favor of doing an editorial on the front page is that it would be a powerful signal of how concerned we are about guns.

Journal writing is a voyage to the interior.

When I was growing up, I was really into 'Rent' and I actually slept on the street in New York all night to get to sit in the first few rows for it.

I was pretty much the government's poster boy for what I had done.

If U.S. national sovereignty continues, it is only as a state that Puerto Rico will have permanent 10th Amendment powers over its non-federal affairs, as well as voting power in Congress.

Mental toughness is essential to success.

What drew me towards team sport were the camaraderie and friendship. The chance to celebrate victory and success with a group of other people is something I have enjoyed doing.

We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.

In the Thirties, when I was in New York, I did the first surrealistic ballet in a show of mine.

As an actor you become that lighting rod between the person who made the play and the audience.

Talking about the all night concerts, I did some of the first all night concerts back in the 60's with this little harmonium, and I also had saxophone taped delays.

I find humor to be the most attractive characteristic, but I certainly won't cancel anything out, considering when you love someone you love someone, and sometimes you just can't explain it.

What I want to see is more mixed casts. We need it. People need to be brave - in the real world, everyone and anyone is around. So if people get to see themselves on the stage, they'll want to come.

Economists of a classical bent lay a large part of the decline of employment, and thus lagging output, to a contraction of labour supply.

Steampunk has been hovering around for a long while, and it's never really caught on in a big way.

Protect your children with your own efforts.

I used to send Tony Romo texts throughout the season just to encourage him, just to wish him luck and just to tell him to get on his offensive line. I hated watching this young man get sacked as much as he did, especially when it came down to big games.

In a rehearsal room, your real resource as an actor aren't the things around you; your resources are your imagination and your director and the other actors. In those close quarters, your imagination and your skills are what you turn to.

Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.

A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world.
