What do you hang on the walls of your mind?

If the chemistry is right between star and photographer and the geometry of the pictures pleases the star, often the two people end up with a long-term professional friendship during which they continue to work together and to produce highly personal images.

It doesn't matter if you use a box camera or you use a Leica; the important thing is what motivates you when you are photographing.

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.

What has changed is that when I photographed, most people that I photographed didn't have the right of refusal on their work. It would take a Marilyn Monroe at her height to be able to dictate that.

If you are careful with people, they will offer you part of themselves. That is the big secret.

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