“To me, pictures are like blintzes: you gotta get 'em while they're hot.”

“I have no inhibitions, and neither has my camera.”

“So I became a photographer. I’m a freelance photographer, the lowest form of photographic life.”

“I'm the official photographer for Murder Incorporated.”

“People are so wonderful that a photographer has only to wait for that breathless moment to capture what he wants on film.”

“Names are for tombstones. I'm the guy with the camera.”

“I’d be out of my mind if I were in my right mind.”

“My camera is my life. I'm a camera with a human being attached.”

“I'm a perfectionist.”

“When you find yourself beginning to feel a bond between yourself and the people you photograph… it is then that you are beginning to know them.”

“I cover the waterfront.”

“I don't have a favorite picture. They are all my children.”
