I'm pretty used to people not liking having their picture taken. I mean, if you do like to have your picture taken, I worry about you.

At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.

I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall.

I shoot a little bit, maybe two rolls, medium format, which is 20 pictures, and if it's not working, I change the position.

There is a myth that the portrait photographer is supposed to make the subject relax, and that's the real person. But I'm interested in whatever is going on. And I'm not that comfortable myself.

As a young person, and I know it’s hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn’t do normally if I was just by myself.

All dancers are, by and large, a photographer's dream. They communicate with their bodies and they are trained to be completely responsive to a collaborative situation.
