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

...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.

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 had in mind a long career.

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.

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

The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.
