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

What drove me and kept me going over the decades? If I had to use a single word, it would be 'curiosity.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
