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.

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

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.

I had in mind a long career.

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