I didn't want to be a woman photographer. That would limit me. I wanted to be a photographer who was a woman, with all the world open to my camera.

I came to photography by accident.

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

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 can't hold a camera anymore.

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

The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.
