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 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.

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.

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

I realize that I had the best of serious picture journalism.

What I have tried to do is involve the people I was photographing... if they were willing to give, I was willing to photograph.
