...if you think of modern art like sex in all its forms - heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual, multipartnered, bestial, whatever, with absolutely no holds barred and with everything available and permissible - that would be modern art.

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.

I came to photography by accident.

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

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.

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.
