Nobody exists in a vacuum.

All things are photographable.

I'm a New Yorker. Matter of fact, the more I'm in places like Texas and California, the more I know I'm a New Yorker. I have no confusions. About that.

I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.

Well, in terms of what a camera does. Again, you go back to that original idea that what you photograph is responsible for how it [the photograph] looks. And it's not plastic, in a way. The problem is unique in photographic terms.

When I see something, I know why something's funny or seems to be funny. But in the end it's just another picture as far as I'm concerned.

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