Every story I've written was written because I had to write it. Writing stories is like breathing for me; it is my life.
I am not a huge follower of music and tend to like one CD and play it to death, usually when I am washing up.
I go straight in very close to people and I do that because it's the only way you can get the picture. You go right up to them. Even now, I don't find it easy. I don't announce it. I pretend to be focusing elsewhere. If you take someone's photograph it is very difficult not to look at them just after. But it's the one thing that gives the game away. I don't try and hide what I'm doing - that would be folly.
If you photograph for a long time, you get to understand such things as body language. I often do not look at people I photograph, especially afterwards. Also when I want a photo, I become somewhat fearless, and this helps a lot. There will always be someone who objects to being photographed, and when this happens you move on.
You have to take a lot of bad pictures. Dont' be afraid to take bad pictures. . . You have to take a lot of bad pictures in order to know when you've got a good one.

I think the ordinary is a very under-exploited aspect of our lives because it is so familiar.
A patient healthy enough to undergo a kidney transplant might someday no longer need dialysis. That would free up a slot for a new patient.
Believe in yourself, learn, and never stop wanting to build a better world.
In countries where associations are free, secret societies are unknown. In America there are factions, but no conspiracies.
If I could do it over, I'd want to come up to the big leagues like Mike Trout. He's exciting and I like watching him.
