I don't think I am going to do pictures which are anything like Renaissance art.

The complete disregard for the camera's presence indicates its complete saturation in their lives. The subject neither notices nor seems to care that someone has been invited into their private moment.

The camera is as much a part of my everyday life as talking or eating or sex.

The main thing that I want to say is that I don't think women are at their most beautiful in their adolescence or in their early 20s.

If I want to take a picture, I take it no matter what.

I have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.

The only time I went out was to go to bars at night and all the pictures were taken with a flash because there was no light at all. However now I'm very interested in light.
