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

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

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.

The formula for doing a good job in photography is to think like a poet.

The thing that's fascinating about portraiture is that nobody is alike.

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