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

In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what's going on, but it's representative.

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

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.

...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.

It's hard to watch something go on and be talking at the same time.

I am impressed with what happens when someone stays in the same place and you took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame.
