• I'm fascinated by mankind. I grew up watching 'Candid Camera' and thought it was funnier than any standup, any joke, anything that could possibly be written because you're dealing with humanity. And people can relate to that. It touches everybody who sees it. It hits a nerve.

• The funny thing is that the process of coming up with an idea for a column or a 'Candid Camera' sequence is essentially the same thing. I just live my life with eyes and ears perhaps a little bit wider open than some people. Whatever bothers me or seems off kilter or in need of parody-or on a serious subject, in need of examination-in the past I had done a sequence about it. Now I write a column about it.

• Hay fanáticos de la fotografía, igual que hay fanáticos religiosos. Compran una supuesta cámara cándida que no existe: es el fotógrafo el que tiene que ser cándido, no la cámara.

• Iconography becomes even more revealing when processes or concepts, rather than objects, must be depicted for the constraint of a definite "thing" cedes directly to the imagination. How can we draw "evolution" or "social organization," not to mention the more mundane "digestion" or "self-interest," without portraying more of a mental structure than a physical reality? If we wish to trace the history of ideas, iconography becomes a candid camera trained upon the scholar's mind.

• Mis padres tenían un gran sentido del humor y siempre se reían mucho. Una noche, cuando estaban viendo Cámara oculta, por fin entendí lo que era la comedia. Oí las risas en la televisión, me di la vuelta y vi a mis padres riéndose, y entonces pensé: 'Esto es genial. Esto es lo que puedo hacer. Voy a gastarle una broma a alguien'.
