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.

I said the photograph isn't what was photographed, it's something else. It's about transformation. And that's what it is.

In terms of content, you can make a problem for yourself, I mean, make the contest difficult, let's say, with certain subject matter that is inherently dramatic.

You know, you get into the business of commercial photography, and that's all you do is photograph what you know. That's what you're hired for.

A photograph is the illusion of a literal description of how the camera 'saw' a piece of time and space.

When I'm photographing, I don't have that kind of nonsense running around in my head. I'm photographing. It's irrelevant in the end, so it doesn't mean a thing. It's not going to make me do better work or worse work as I can see it now.

Aside from women, I don't know. My work doesn't function the way Robert Frank's did.
