A photograph is just a tiny slice of a subject. A piece of them in a moment. It seems presumptuous to think you can get more than that.

People buy ideas, they don't buy photographs.

I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.

Irving Penn said he didn't want to photograph anyone under 60, and I think there is some truth about it.

It's a heavy weight, the camera. Now we have modern and lightweight, small plastic cameras, but in the '70s they were heavy metal.

I'm more interested in being good than being famous.

I was out there with the White House press squad, and after his helicopter took off, and the carpet rolled up...This wasn't a photograph that others were taking, but I continued to take pictures.
