If you didn’t take the picture, you weren’t there.

When I was a kid in New York I used to go to the zoo. I always liked the zoo. I grew up within walking distance of the Bronx Zoo. And then when my first two children were young, I used to take them to the zoo. Zoos are always interesting. And I make pictures.

I get totally out of myself. It's the closest I come to not existing, I think, which is the best - which is to me attractive.

In the end, maybe the correct language would be how the fact of putting four edges around a collection of information or facts transforms it. A photograph is not what was photographed, it's something else.

Everybody's entitled to their own experience.

I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.

Every photograph is a battle of form versus content.
