“Many people misunderstand me - I'm quite happy to be called a photographer. All of a sudden, the art world has caught up with photography, and they are trying to hijack us.”

“I've seen my own blood and broken a few bones. I've been hit, which isn't an entirely bad thing, as at least you have a glimpse of the suffering endured by the people you are photographing. And in a sense, crumbling empires and war have been with me all my life.”

“I started out on photography accidentally. A policeman came to a stop at the end of my street, and a guy knifed him at the end of my street. That's how I became a photographer. I photographed the gangs that I went to school with.”

“I made my living as an actor, and I love acting, so I'm an actor. But that gets you in a lot of trouble in the art world.”

“I'm the son of a doctor, and the key to working in the art world is to have boundaries of discretion.”

“Peggy Guggenheim is a real hero to have done what she did in a man's world, as the art world still is.”
