“Don't expect things to happen fast. Be empathetic with the people you are photographing. Don't be concerned about money.”

“When I first started out, I really felt like, 'I'm a journalist; I will be respected as a neutral observer.' And I don't feel like that holds true anymore. I don't think people respect journalists the same way they once did.”

“I will try and become a very empathetic person because I do think that's a nice trait.”

“I think when you're empathetic, you're putting yourself in somebody else's shoes, right? It's not about you.”

“I have this weird sort of Gemini thing where I can really be empathetic and a loving person. But if you piss me off, I can be one of the meanest, most sadistic people.”
