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

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.

If I didn't have my camera to remind me constantly, I am here to do this, I would eventually have slipped away, I think. I would have forgotten my reason to exist.

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

Nature is so powerful, so strong. It takes you to a place within yourself.

When I started working for Rolling Stone, I became very interested in journalism and thought maybe that's what I was doing, but it wasn't.

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