I always think you have to show a degree of humanity and sensitivity when you're dealing with people in extreme circumstances.

Social situations, for me - it's very natural for me to be an observer. That's where I'm most comfortable. I observe things.

I do know that I have always been one of life's observers, always standing slightly on the outside, watching.

I've always been someone who really watches other people, human behavior. To watch it and be able to express it through your version has always been really exciting to me.

I always think that if you look at anyone in detail, you will have empathy for them because you recognize them as a human being, no matter what they've done.

I am an observer, I like to watch people. I am into psychology and people - how they act and such.

Real people move, they bear with them the element of time. It is this fourth dimension of people that I try to capture in a photograph.

Usually when I see myself in a film or on television, there's about a six-month period where I can't look at it because all I'll see are the mistakes. I'm just appalled by the person that I see.

Every person remembers some moment in their life where they witnessed some injustice, big or small, and looked away because the consequences of intervening seemed too intimidating. But there's a limit to the amount of incivility and inequality and inhumanity that each individual can tolerate. I crossed that line. And I'm no longer alone.
