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.

The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.

I love having the photograph in my hand. I love looking at the photograph. I love looking at a box of photographs. I just love the still photograph.

I sometimes find the surface interesting. To say that the mark of a good portrait is whether you get them or get the soul - I don't think this is possible all of the time.

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.

When you go to take someone's picture, the first thing they say is, what you want me to do? Everyone is very awkward.
