But the truth is that Homo sapiens is a sensual species. I think all species are, to one degree or another.

I'll go to do a shoot, I'll spend five or six hours at the beach with people, and when people think I'm all out of film, then they really relax and I get my good pictures.

Any artist that's involved in their work is inevitably going to have a focus in what they do.

They were without clothes before I got there, and they were without clothes when I left.

If somebody's pointing a trembling finger at your pants and saying you shouldn't be doing that, follow that finger back, go up the arm and look at the head that's behind it, because there's almost always something fairly woolly in there.

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

Virtually always I get my best pictures when everybody thinks the shoot's done.
