When asked what makes a good photojournalist, Morris replies: “Three things – the head, the eyes and the heart. I see many students here every year, and a couple of hundred students from American universities who come to hear me talk, and I ask them all which languages they are learning because the great failure of American journalists is that they only speak English. This is one reason why we have so many problems in other countries – in the Arab world, for example. There are very few Arab-speaking Americans.”
