At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.

I'm pretty used to people not liking having their picture taken. I mean, if you do like to have your picture taken, I worry about you.

I've created a vocabulary of different styles. I draw from many different ways to take a picture. Sometimes I go back to reportage, to journalism.

What I end up shooting is the situation. I shoot the composition and my subject is going to help the composition or not.

I feel very proud of the work from the '80s because it is very bright and colorful.

When you go to take someone's picture, the first thing they say is, what you want me to do? Everyone is very awkward.

My early childhood equipped me really well for my portrait work: The quick encounter, where you are not going to know the subject for very long. These days I am much more comfortable with the fifteen minute relationship, than I am with a life long relationship.
