So many people dislike themselves so thoroughly that they never see any reproduction of themselves that suits. None of us is born with the right face. It’s a tough job being a portrait photographer.

I don't love the world. I think Jupiter should have hit us.

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

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

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.

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