You can't make a great musician or a great photographer if the magic isn't there.

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

You should never reveal your true age.

If the photographer is interested in the people in front of his lens, and if he is compassionate, it's already a lot. The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.

Lesson number one: Pay attention to the intrusion of the camera.

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.

Themes recur again and again in my work.
