When I photographed Marilyn Monroe, I mixed up my cameras - one had black-and-white film, the other color. I took many pictures. Only two color ones came out all right. My favorite picture of Marilyn hangs always on the wall in my office. It was taken on the little patio of her Hollywood house.

I see pictures all the time. I could stay for hours and watch a raindrop.

I don't like to work with assistants. I'm already one too many; the camera alone would be enough.

My style hasn't changed much in all these sixty years. I still use, most of the time, existing light and try not to push people around. I have to be as much a diplomat as a photographer. People don't often take me seriously because I carry so little equipment and make so little fuss... I never carried a lot of equipment. My motto has always been, "Keep it simple".

Retire? Retire from What? Life? I will only retire when I am dead!

The most important thing... is not clicking the shutter... it is clicking with the subject.

All photographers have to do, is find and catch the story-telling moment.
