Stan, thanks for linking to that 2008 interview. Two things that Roy said really hit me.
1) About making a memorable photo... “I believe in patience and knowledge and skill and love – gotta be love."
2) About racism in the photography community... "...I don’t want to dwell on that, but it dwells on me.”

Yeah, a lot of gems there, John...
“My days of bitterness are over because I have the sense enough to know that this is not good for me to be bitter,” says DeCarava.
I'm still working on that one- probably always will.
