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 I was younger, I did things with a camera I would not do by myself. I remember going down to the docks in San Francisco and asking a fisherman if he would take me out on his boat. I would never do that without a camera.

Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter.

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.

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

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

I shoot a little bit, maybe two rolls, medium format, which is 20 pictures, and if it's not working, I change the position.
