If it gets to the Supreme Court, I'll have the directors of every museum in the country as expert testimony that my work is legitimate art.

But empirically I've come to understand that my photographs really don't do any harm.

I'd rather get back to making art than talk about it.

As soon as you forbid something, you make it extraordinarily appealing. You also bring shame in as a phenomenon.

I know the families that I photograph extremely well and have known them for a very long time.

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

Physical beauty is such a strange thing.
