All things are photographable.

I had an agent. When [Edward] Steichen was doing "The Family of Man", I went up to the office one day. I think Wayne Miller, who assisted Steichen with "The Family of Man," was up there and pulled out a bunch of pictures. So I got a message: "Take these pictures, call Steichen, make an appointment and take these pictures up there." And that's how I met him.

There are people who are socially ambitious. If you go back aways, the Sculls, for instance, had a lot of money and they were socially ambitious. If you get an old master, it's not going to do you any good socially.

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

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.

I think there's some stuff that's at least photographically interesting. There are things I back off from trying to talk about.
