You should never reveal your true age.

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.

The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.

It's the hardest thing in the world to take the mundane and try to show how special it is.

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.

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.

Themes recur again and again in my work.
