My mind is vacant on names, but I know him as well as anything. When I need names they drop out of my head; when I don't need them they drop back.

I never divide photographers into creative and uncreative, I just call them photographers. Who is creative? How do you know who is creative or not?

Some people say to me, Isn't it too bad that people discovered you so late? I never thought that.

I was poor. When you're poor you work, and when you're rich you expect somebody to hand it to you. So I think being reasonably poor is very good for people.

I was brought up on art. My father thought I had a great hand at art and sent me to art school. But he did not want me to become a photographer.

It's silly to keep people alive who have a terrible disease.

Which is my best picture? The one I will do tomorrow.
