I don't need the money I generate from photography to support myself.

I think the digital camera would record that information too fast for me.

If you're not going to tell something if you're not going to expose something it's real easy to go in and photograph from behind the camera and not expose any of your weaknesses.

We all take from our artistic endeavors what we as individuals need, to make the process unique and fulfilling to ourselves.

To me, that is the essence of me as a photographer. It is those ideas, working with them, formulating them and eventually putting them down on paper, photographing them and then going on to the next step.

My son does a little photography, but he's not involved the way I was.

I tried painting for a short time and realized that I was not a child prodigy at painting.

No matter how fast I could do it with the digital camera I don't think I would get the same thing out of it. The passion I have for formulating an idea stands alone. It is the important essence of what I do.

If no one wants to jump into a Kim Weston and drive it down the street. That's fine with me I don't care. I know my work is good and I know it's serious work.

Growing up, I didn't give my grandfather's photography a second thought. I wasn't involved in his work, except that I helped my dad print his negatives.

Well, now I'm an old photographer and I still don't sell.

I didn't want to travel. I didn't want to leave my family. I heard all these stories from Dad about not having Edward around when he was young, and I didn't want that to happen.

Uncle Brett had a definite vision that he was after, I don't think having a famous father affected him much.

I think all photographers fit their vision to their personality.

A lot of my work comes from my life experiences.

I was always confident in my art and in myself as an artist.

In front of the camera I look and I see visually what I've created.

What I had to prove was that I had a dedication and a desire and a passion to do the work and everything else would fall in place because I have a vision that I want to portray and it did and I do it. I don't sell anything.

Being a shy person, I always felt strange outside with my camera.

I'm not photographing the model in the classic sense; the model is playing a part in my photographs. It's more like theater. I always work with models I know, and I let them participate in deciding how to act their part.

I felt no pressure that my grandfather was famous and my uncle was famous.

As an artist you have to have a certain amount of arrogance.

My surprises come usually once I start rolling and photographing.

Any nude is a something you setup in front of the camera.

I photographed rocks and trees and tide pools and nudes and all that stuff for years and years. Until 20 years ago when I found that I could do it in the studio and never have to travel.

Galleries, and they're all the same, and rightly so, they sell work.

You work on an idea, your first interpretation is very raw and you work it and you work it and it gets polished and polished. It gets to a certain level and then it comes down off that peak.

I just love photographing. I don't do it for anyone else.

I don't know, the older I get, the more complicated I think I get, which is a hindrance.

The darkroom is just the means to an end.

That's not to say that some day I won't go outside again, but I'm having a great time working on this process.

I don't need the money I generate from photography to support myself.

The gallery is generating work for the masses.

I don't think at that time I realized how important it was and how important it was for me to be here and carry on that legacy in our family of being a photographer.

It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you're fulfilling that inner need, and for me the need is more the process than the finished product. My photographs are stories of the process.

The great thing about this thing we call art is that it has no rules.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

Stories come from other shows at other studios where only 2,000 rounds were actually used and the money for the other 3,000 went right into the studio pockets. Corners were cut and that production suffered. Knock wood, that hasn't happened to us.

Never play anything that don't sound right. You might not make any money, but at least you won't get hostile with yourself.

Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.

When I sent those scripts, that was the lowest point of my life. We'd just had our second son, and when I went to collect them from hospital, I went to the bank to try and get some money to buy some diapers, the screen showed I've got $26 left.

One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.

I would rather take the role and work and make my own money and self respect than to have sex with someone who has a lot of money.

People may take a job for more money, but they often leave it for more recognition.

I make no claim to being a business genius. You can make so much money in this business that it loses its value.

It costs a great deal of money to do a musical, and the more money involved, the more big business influences the artform.

The world over, give a guy money and it goes to drinking, gambling, and women. When you give a woman money, it goes to feeding, clothing, helping people.

Your team has to understand that coming into the ABA, you have to have your investments right and sponsorships and people ready to give you money so they can back you up.

I wanted to be an actress. In college I was a serious feminist and very political. I was determined to get one thing out of my career and that was respect. I didn't want money. I didn't care about fame.
