I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.

All I'm doing is photographing. When I was working on The Animals, I was working on a lot of other things too. I kept going to the zoo because things were going on in certain pictures. It wasn't a project.

I don't think anything happens without the press, one way or the other. I think it's all done for it. You saw it start, really, with Martin Luther King in Birmingham. He did the bus thing. And I don't think anything that followed would have happened if the press hadn't paid attention.

The photograph should be more interesting or more beautiful than what was photographed

Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.

The only thing that happens when I'm teaching is that I hope there are some students out there in the class who will ask questions.

Well, I'm not going to get into that. I think that those kind of distinctions and lists of titles like "street photographer" are so stupid. I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it.
