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.

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

As you get older, you have different tools, and you learn to use photography differently.

I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall.

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.

If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.

...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.
