I'm the last person who has any desire to instruct anybody in shame. That's no errand for me.

The transactions between me and the people that I photograph are very very collaborative.

I became good at defending myself, but as far as I was concerned, that was a transient skill.

It's really, really hard to make it as a fine-art photographer exclusively.

There are photographs that I don’t take now, that I previously would have taken without any thought at all as to any misinterpretations.

Before, I'd photograph anything. I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body.

The world is shrinking as we see more and more of it in the media, and the more we see of the world, the smaller we are, the more aware we are of how insignificant any one of us is.
