I like making things. I don’t like getting my picture taken.

I have a nice office. I have a nice house… So I’m not denying myself some great things. I just don’t happen to have expensive hobbies.

I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything.

When I’m in my 50s, I kind of think I’ll want to be in a garden.

I hate smiling. It makes me feel weak and powerless and small. I’ve always been like that; I don’t smile in any pictures.

I mean, what would I be doing if I couldn’t write? But that fortunately hasn’t proved to be the case and I can read any day. I still read a lot, and I can write any day, but much more slowly and fewer words.

I don’t like to be bored.

As for hobbies, I don’t really read or watch TV.

I think – I don’t know, maybe it’s nostalgia. But the choice, losing the choice to be able to use film is going to be – it’s gone. It’s going to be gone.

I like my fair share of board games.

I’m not a photographer, so I didn’t get into F-stops or ND filters or background, foreground, cross-light, all that stuff. But I was interested in the camera and the lenses. That’s the world that I’m moving in, in terms of acting and giving a performance.

I love to take, process and share photos – it fills me up.

The first real thought that I had of something that I might do was to write for car magazines, because I always had a car thing.

He has all of the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.

I love a natural look in pictures.

I like to paint my own helmets. I design my own suit and boots, I like being unique in that way.

I love to watch videos, and I’ve always liked to film and take pictures. I have an eye for really weird things that nobody thinks about. I used to make little movies about myself and then edit them on iMovie.

Give me something to assemble, I won’t look at the directions, I’ll try to figure it out by myself. It’s why I love Ikea furniture.

It takes me about two hours to run into Target. People always want a picture. They hem and haw, and they can’t spit the words out, so they waste about five minutes of my time just standing there getting ready for a picture. Just do it!

When I do a picture and it’s 90% black, like ‚Bird,‘ I use 90% black people.

Black-and-white always looks modern, whatever that word means.

Everybody has their thing they like or don’t like to see. It’s all in your head. That’s why people take their own pictures, because it’s difficult for someone else to capture what you seek.

I loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean, unless you were related to somebody there was no way in.

Playing bridge is a pretty old fashioned thing in a way that I really like.

I’m not a nerd, don’t plan to be a nerd and read books – which I can’t do at all.

I couldn’t take pictures of green rolling hills.

Objects in pictures should so be arranged as by their very position to tell their own story.

My biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.

I like to read books. I like to listen to music.

When I do have free time, I spend it with friends, or I spend it at home writing or making something.

Hobbies are apt to run away with us, you know; it doesn’t do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.

Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.

To describe my scarce leisure time in today’s terms, I always default to reading.

I just make the pictures and where they fall is where they fall. If somebody likes them, that’s always nice. And if they don’t like them, then too bad.

I was going to go to a four-year college and be an anthropologist or to an art school and be an illustrator when a friend convinced me to learn photography at the University of Southern California. Little did I know it was a school that taught you how to make movies! It had never occurred to me that I’d ever have any interest in filmmaking.

If your man is a sports enthusiast, you may have to resign yourself to his spouting off in a monotone on a prize fight, football game or pennant race.

I listen to music all day every day. I can’t not listen to music. It’s kind of scary how much I listen to music, but it’s what I love, and it’s all I care about, so I’m good with it.

I have a little bit of that gamer spirit in me. I just don’t have the time to be a gamer. But in another life, I would be one.

I don’t profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.

I use a stream-of-consciousness approach; if you don’t censor yourself, you end up with what you’re most concerned about, but you haven’t filtered it through your conscious mind. Then you craft it.

But, you know, it’s still a drag to get your picture taken when you’re eating a sandwich. It’s a downer.

When you come to see a picture of mine, I want you to know that I’m not going to do anything that will make you uncomfortable. I want you to know that you won’t be disappointed in me.

I like having the digital camera on my smart phone, but I also like having a dedicated camera for when I want to take real pictures.

Artists are losing the choice to use film. People have a love for it – the grain, how it feels, the texture.

I don’t race cars.

Professional farmworkers who know how to do a number of different jobs, whether it be pruning or picking or crafting, they see themselves as professionals, and they take a lot of pride in that work. They don’t see themselves as doing work that is demeaning.

I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I’m doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.

I have a mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.

I’ve got wide tastes, but I don’t like jazz.

I probably would have retired years ago if I hadn’t found interesting things to do.

In my work, as a writer, I only photograph, in words, what I see.

A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.

I’m working on bringing the instant film camera back as part of the future.

I don’t get bored.

You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.

Every picture has its own demands, and every picture stimulates something within you to tell it a certain way. I don’t know what that is; I don’t think too much about that.

I’m definitely a Polaroid camera girl. For me, what I’m really excited about is bringing back the artistry and the nature of Polaroid.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

Microsoft Research has a thing called the Sense Cam that, as you walk around, it’s taking photos all the time. And the software will filter and find the ones that are interesting without having to think, ‚Let’s get out the camera and get that shot.‘ You just have that, and software helps you pick what you want.

I really wanted to be a model when I was little. I loved photography, and I loved being on camera. But I was short and chubby, so I couldn’t. Anyway, being an artist is way more interesting than just being a model because it’s about you and what you want to be. You’re not being treated like a clothes hanger.

I can’t play bridge. I don’t play tennis. All those things that people learn, and I admire, there hasn’t seemed time for. But what there is time for is looking out the window.
