“I don't think there's any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little. People have to be their own learners. They have to have a certain talent.”

“I was brought up on art. My father thought I had a great hand at art and sent me to art school. But he did not want me to become a photographer.”

“Get it out of your historic head.”

“Everyone is influencing the people around them one way or another.”

“I was all about touching people and influencing people, I always been that type of person. I was the one teaching people things, I just always had a way with my words and I always spoke with substance.”

“If I feel I'm not influencing games, not scoring goals or making goals, then that's the time I'd pack it in.”
