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.

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

I admired the work of photographers like Beaton, Penn, and Avedon as much as I respected the grittier photographers such as Robert Frank. But in the same way that I had to find my own way of reportage, I had to find my own form of glamour.

When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see.

Most people, especially successful people, are hard-working. They want to participate. They want to do things well.

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

No one ever thought Clint Eastwood was funny, but he was.
