“The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own.”

“Unchecked, the tourist will climb over the fence and come right into your house to take pictures of you in your habitat. Cities mindful of tourists have built elaborate “tourist traps” which, luckily, work. Tourists are kept confined to these, and few escape. There is, of course, the type known as the “intrepid tourist.” This one has to be watched carefully or he can become most annoying. Little wonder these are so often the target of terrorists. If there is an aspect of benign terror about the tourist, there is also a great deal of tourist in the terrorist. Terrorists travel with only one thing in mind, just like the tourist, and the specifics of places escape them both. Terrorists travel for the purpose of shooting unsuspecting foreigners, just as tourists travel for the purpose of shooting them with a camera.”

“[I think] the movie is not a thing which is taken by the camera; the movie is the reality of the movie moving from reality to the camera.”

“I refuse to be a part of this reality that was manufactured by other people; I manufactured my own reality”

“Everyone is born for something. This girl was born for the camera.”

“She was a stranger in her own life, a tourist in her own body.”

“Everyone makes and has need of making a world other than the one he sees.”

“People make their own reality, goddess. We hate and we love for reasons that are known only to us.”

“Everyone has the right to make his own decisions, but none has the right to force his decision on others.”

“In reality, nothing is truly genuine and original. Everyone has their own version and they openly claim it as the truth.”
