There is a myth that the portrait photographer is supposed to make the subject relax, and that's the real person. But I'm interested in whatever is going on. And I'm not that comfortable myself.

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.

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 photograph is just a little, teeny-weeny, small piece of life. I feel like I see so much more than what I can actually get.

I fight to take a good photograph every single time.

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

When you are younger, the camera is like a friend and you can go places and feel like you're with someone, like you have a companion.
