There are days when everyone in the world looks like a Diane Arbus to me. She's a genius but her work is completely different to mine. But on those days I don't use my camera.

You know it's said that you make your own face. So you don't really have a face until you are 30 or your mid-20s. When you are starting to grow up and show your character in your face.

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.

I remember so many girls when I was growing up who hated the way they looked.

No place could be less sympathetic to my politics than America.

I don't think of Maria Schneider like idol anymore, because I worshipped her when I was young.
