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.

My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.

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.

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

The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.

Most people, especially successful people, are hard-working. They want to participate. They want to do things well.

Photography is not something you retire from.
