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

Get it out of your historic head.

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

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

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 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.

Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow.
