The most awful museums are in China. They have magnificent stuff on display and just the worst way of displaying it. They just don't spend money on lighting and installation.

I'm an amateur photographer, apart from being a professional one, and I think maybe my amateur pictures are the better ones.

I'm not a serious photographer like many of my contemporaries. That is to say, I am serious about not being serious.

I don't really have a favorite camera. I use a Leica and Canon a lot. It depends, especially professionally, on the requirements. But my carry-around camera is a Leica.

I go to a lot of comedy shows.

If you play it straight it's funny - the best comedy is always played straight down the middle. The adjustment is understanding from the screenplay that a moment is hilarious.

I love the satire and skewering of comedy writing.

If you look at shows like 'Def Comedy Jam' in its heyday, there were so many really funny, talented black comics that never would have gotten on that show because they just weren't doing comedy that fit that mold.
