I was invited to photograph Hollywood. They asked me what I would like to photograph. I said, Ugly men.

Anybody is influenced by where and how he lives.

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.

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

I turn people into human beings by not making them into gods.

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