I was poor. When you're poor you work, and when you're rich you expect somebody to hand it to you. So I think being reasonably poor is very good for people.

I don't love the world. I think Jupiter should have hit us.

I don't think there's any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little. People have to be their own learners. They have to have a certain talent.

Some people say to me, Isn't it too bad that people discovered you so late? I never thought that.

The general idea of the rich helping the poor, I think, is important.

You see, I became kind of a drop-out in science after I came back to America.
