• I feel it is the heart, not the eye, that should determine the content of the photograph. What the eye sees is its own. What the heart can perceive is a very different matter.

• Cogí una cámara porque era mi elección de armas contra lo que más odiaba del universo: el racismo, la intolerancia, la pobreza. Podría haber cogido fácilmente un cuchillo o una pistola, como hicieron muchos de mis amigos de la infancia... la mayoría de los cuales fueron asesinados o encarcelados... pero elegí no seguir ese camino. Creí que podría aplacar esos males haciendo algo hermoso por lo que la gente me reconociera, y así forjarme una vida totalmente distinta, y así ha sido.

• He conocido tanto la miseria como la felicidad, he vivido en tantas pieles diferentes que es imposible que una sola piel me reclame. Y a veces me he sentido como un caminante en un planeta extraño: caminando, corriendo, preguntándome qué me trajo a este lugar en particular y por qué. Pero una vez aquí, los sueños empezaron a invadirme y me dediqué a devorarlos como ellos me devoraban a mí.
