• With photography, I like to create a fiction out of reality. I try and do this by taking society's natural prejudice and giving this a twist.

• Me acerco mucho a la gente y lo hago porque es la única manera de conseguir la foto. Vas directamente hacia ellos. Incluso ahora, no me resulta fácil. No lo anuncio. Finjo estar concentrado en otra cosa. Si haces una foto a alguien es muy difícil no mirarle justo después. Pero es lo único que delata el juego. No intento ocultar lo que hago, sería una locura.

• If you photograph for a long time, you get to understand such things as body language. I often do not look at people I photograph, especially afterwards. Also when I want a photo, I become somewhat fearless, and this helps a lot. There will always be someone who objects to being photographed, and when this happens you move on.

• Part of the role of photography is to exaggerate. Most of the photographs in your paper, unless they are hard news, are lies. Fashion pictures show people looking glamorous. Travel pictures show a place looking at its best, nothing to do with the reality... Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda.

• Veo las cosas que pasan ante mis ojos y las fotografío tal como son, sin intentar cambiarlas. No advierto a la gente de antemano. Por eso soy cronista. Hablo de nosotros y hablo de mí mismo.

• To ask people's permission to take their pictures? Sometimes it feels right to ask, but I will not ask, unless it is essential to do so. If you asked all the time, you would miss everything. With the exception of portraits, it is generally bad news if people are looking at the camera.

• Magnum photographers were meant to go out as a crusade ... to places like famine and war and ... I went out and went round the corner to the local supermarket because this to me is the front line.

• I accept that all photography is voyeuristic and exploitative, and obviously I live with my own guilt and conscience. It's part of the test and I don't have a problem with it.
