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.

I think San Francisco is the best place in the whole world for an easy life.

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.

I don't resent anything.

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

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

I wasn't very ambitious. I think that's the solution. I just took things as they came. I wouldn't say I didn't have any problem, but I didn't care. I didn't think I was going to save the world by doing photography as some of these people do. I was just having a good time doing it, and so I still had a good time no matter what I had to photograph.
