Recording sessions were stimulating to photograph, because everything was in motion: the subject, the musicians, the technicians and the photographer. You needed fast reflexes to keep up with moving targets, and sensitivity and skill to get the pictures while keeping out of the performers' eyeline so as not to break their concentration.

Being a woman is just a marvelous plus in photographing. Men like to be photographed by women, it becomes flirtatious and fun, and women feel less as if they're expected to be in a relationship.

I love the idea I can go off with a single camera and a few rolls of film unencumbered... I was not interested in the illusion of reality, I wanted to get close to what was happening.

What you need to be a good photographer is an overwhelming curiosity and a good digestion.

It's the hardest thing in the world to take the mundane and try to show how special it is.

I think if I ever get satisfied, I’ll have to stop. It’s the frustration that drives you.

You can't make a great musician or a great photographer if the magic isn't there.
