  • Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

  • When I make a photograph I want it to be an altogether new object, complete and self-contained, whose basic condition is order (unlike the world of events and actions whose permanent condition is change and disorder).

  • When it came down to technical skill and ability of the two teams, Croatia were far superior.

  • Programming is a skill best acquired by practice and example rather than from books.

  • After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved science and art tend to coalesce in aesthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are artists as well.

  • Of course we all have our limits, but how can you possibly find your boundaries unless you explore as far and as wide as you possibly can? I would rather fail in an attempt at something new and uncharted than safely succeed in a repeat of something I have done.

  • The 10% between 90% done to 100% done takes most of the time, causes most of the stress, but is all of the value.

  • But it's true, when you see some television, you carry it with you. It's like 90210. Tell me what young shows were being done then... We were thrilled about the ratings around the world.

  • I just want to do what has to be done so much. I'll never understand why everyone else doesn't feel this way.

  • I come from a world where you get the film done, that's a success.
