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

Different members of different cultures will think that some things are beautiful.

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

I found myself serving a sentence of public denial from the very second the raid on my apartment happened.

I use an 8 x 10 view camera. All other cameras are just toys.

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

I'm guilty of extraordinary naivete, I suppose. But it's a naivete that I really don't want to abandon, not even now.
