If you ever watch children play - what do you observe when you watch children play? You know, they're dead serious. They're not on vacation.

I have boxes of pictures that nothing is ever going to happen to. Even Public Relations. I mean, I was going to events long before, and I still am.

I pretty much know what I'm doing.

There is no special way a photograph should look.

I'm shocked that I can live pretty well, or reasonably, or make a certain amount of my living, anyway, off of prints. I guess it's nuts. I don't believe in it. I never anticipated it; I still don't believe it.

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.

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