Work

The way I did things, which might have seemed disorganized, is representative of the way engineers work. They don't get everything done neatly and cleanly; they just work the fastest and get it done.

If you love what you do and are willing to do what it takes, it's within your reach. And it'll be worth every minute you spend alone at night, thinking and thinking about what it is you want to design or build.

I don't consider writing a quiet, closet act.

My contribution to the world is my ability to draw. I will draw as much as I can for as many people as I can for as long as I can.

Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.

You don't take a photograph, you make it.

Each work grows, stays, decays - integral parts of a cycle which the photograph shows at its heights, marking the moment when the work is most alive. There is an intensity about a work at its peak that I hope is persuasive.

When I make something, in a field or street, it may vanish, but it's part of the history of those places.

All my work is an investigation of the properties of a particular material, the nature of the form, the energy of the place or the moment.

The modern artist...is working and expressing an inner world in other terms.

If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.

Dreams do come true if you work hard.

I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time.

If you want to be the best, you have to do things that other people aren't willing to do.

I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and you put the work and time into it.

When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty, but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.

I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.

Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.

The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.

The only way to become a good player is to practice, practice, practice.
