Everyone asks me how I get my subjects to open up to me. There’s no formula to it. It’s just a matter of who you are and how you talk to people - of being yourself.

The subject gives you the best idea of how to make a photograph. So I just wait for something to happen.

If you are interested in photography because you love it and are obsessed with it, you must be self-motivated, a perfectionist, and relentless.

Photograph the world as it is. Nothing's more interesting than reality.

A great photograph needs no explanation; it functions by suggestion. There is no need to be explicit.

One of my all-time favorite photographers is Irving Penn. I wish I could have watched him work.
