I'm living in Los Angeles for a couple of years. I've been a gypsy for quite a while. It'll come to an end. I'm going to come back to New York.

I really try to divorce myself from any thought of possible use of this stuff. That's part of the discipline. My only purpose while I'm working is to try to make interesting photographs, and what to do with them is another act - an alter consideration. Certainly while I'm working, I want them to be as useless as possible.

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

I may very well move in. I just don't know. I can't sit here and know what pictures I'm going to take.

It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.

I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.

If I photograph you I don't have you, I have a photograph of you. It's got its own thing. That's really what photography, still photography, is about.
