She was the best model because she not only had perfect facial features, but a great body and wasn't ashamed to show it. It was impossible to take a bad photo of her. Bettie Page was always ready for the camera's eye.

I want to show off how beautiful my subjects are, whether its a cheetah or a live girl or two of them together.

Make the most of what you have and enjoy being female; enjoy being YOU.

I miss Bettie Page. I've been missing her since the last time I photographed her in 1954.

When you start photographing yourself, you are going to be amazed at all the things you find out about yourself, and you'll be glad you did.

They all wanted to model for me because they knew I wouldn’t take advantage of them.

I was just confident my work was good.
