Great photography is always on the edge of failure.

It was interesting; it's an interesting photographic problem [those demonstrations in the late Sixties]. But if I was doing it as a job, I think I'd have to get paid extra.

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

I photograph what interests me. I'm not saying anything different.

I look at a photograph. What's going on? What's happening, photographically? If it's interesting, I try to understand why.

There are things I back off from trying to talk about, you know. Particularly my own work. Also, there may be things better left unsaid. At times I'd much rather talk about other (people's) work.

There's all kinds of people teaching who don't do anything worth a nickel. Likewise in advertising.
