Themes recur again and again in my work.

If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given. It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.

I don't see anybody as either ordinary or extraordinary. I see them simply as people in front of my lens.

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 found a way of working which pleased me because I didn’t have to frighten people with heavy equipment. It was that little black box and me.

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

The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.
