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?

I never stopped photographing. There were a couple of years when I didn't have a darkroom, but that didn't stop me from photographing.

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

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

When People magazine called me, I did the job on Ansel. I'm older than Ansel and he has to mind me.

Everybody who does anything for the public can be criticized. There's always someone who doesn't like it.

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