Plastic surgery is distressingly popular and I feel that the fashion industry has killed tens of thousands of women over the years from anorexia.

I never courted that but it's nice when it's people you respect and they respect your work. It's thrilling.

My work shows the beauty in so many different kinds of people because I never photograph anyone who I don't think is beautiful. I never take an intentionally mean picture.

I've become really interested in the landscape but not as landscape but more as it relates to mood and how we live and how the outside impacts on the inside. I didn't really look at the outside world during the years I was photographing the Ballad as I was locked inside my house and I lived totally inside.

I wasn't there [in U.S] when the city was bombed but it seems to have changed my friends.

Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures.

Gena Rowlands is fabulous.
