Part of my life is saving life.

I got rejected from journalism school!

I treat my life as though I am on a tightrope.

I would never think of myself as a role model.

To become a photographer leave your house first.

If you want to be a photographer, first leave home

I want to be the toughest photographer in the world.

Photography can be perceived as the opposite of war.

Content alone is propaganda; form alone is wallpaper.

There's always a threat surrounding the things you love

Mortars and artillery don't discriminate against gender.

I love photography. I love the imagery. I love what I do.

If you want to be a photographer, you have to photograph.

I think that more often than not, people underestimate me.

With photography, I always think that it's not good enough.

The military has a very prickly relationship with the press.

I only use a camera like I use a toothbrush. It does the job.

I dont think tragic situations are necessarily devoid of beauty.

Every story takes its toll on me and leaves an impression on me.

I don't think tragic situations are necessarily devoid of beauty.

I'm a very open person, very self-deprecating. I accept my flaws.

I've rarely seen portrayals of photojournalists that seem accurate.

Photography is the truth if it’s being handled by a truthful person.

Do we really need another picture of Paris Hilton or Naomi Campbell?

I strive for individual pictures that will burn in people's memories.

There is a job to be doneto record the truth. I want to wake people up!

If you make an honest picture of war, it will be an antiwar photograph.

Where in the world would I rather be than on the front line of history?

If I can upset people, if I can ruin their day, then I have done my job.

The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist.

The goal for me is to pull in the reader and to have them ask questions.

Seeing, looking at what others cannot bear to see is what my life is all about.

I didn't want my gender to determine whether or not I could cover breaking news.

Americans are really lovely people - friendly, kind and willing to help you out.

I think life is too short not to be doing something which you really believe in.

As journalists, because you don't carry a gun, you sort of become this observer.

People think photography is about photographing. To me, it’s about relationships.

People's perceptions of their status are just as important as their actual status.

If you wait, people will forget your camera, and the soul will drift up into view.

I attempt to channel my anger into the tip of my forefinger as I press the shutter.

Photography has been very, very generous to me, but at the same time has damaged me.

I hope that my work helps people - that's the thing that drives me and keeps me going.

Photojournalists know the horrors of war can only be exposed at close range. Kodak Film.

What matters most is that each picture stands on its own with its own place and feeling.

My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.

You are never freer than in that moment when you decide to expose yourself to sniper fire.

I used to call myself a war photographer. Now I consider myself as an antiwar photographer.

Some of the great pictures happen along the journey and not necessarily at your destination.

When I’m taking a picture of Aya Sofia, what counts is the person passing by who stands for life

I try to use whatever I know about photography to be of service to the people I'm photographing.
