I've created a vocabulary of different styles. I draw from many different ways to take a picture. Sometimes I go back to reportage, to journalism.

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

A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.

I was scared to do anything in the studio because it felt so claustrophobic. I wanted to be somewhere where things could happen and the subject wasn't just looking back at you.

Lennon was very helpful. What he taught me seems completely obvious: he expected people to treat each other well.

What I am interested in now is the landscape. Pictures without people. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually there are no people in my pictures. It is so emotional.

Everyone keeps asking you for pictures, and after a while you get tired of that. I always say, They are in the archives.
