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.

I just believe in working. I'm not one of those romantic explainers of my own individual point of view.

I told the students that whatever they did in class was for the wastebasket.

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

I became kind of a drop-out in science after I came back to America. I wanted to photograph.

A woman said to me when she first sat down, You're photographing the wrong side of my face. I said, Oh, is there one?

I'd never kill myself for a man. I wouldn't do it for anybody.
