I think all art is about control, the encounter between control and uncontrollable.

I never wanted to be called an artist. I wanted to be called a photographer.

i think charm is the ability to be truly interested in other people

A portrait photographer depends upon another person to complete his picture. The subject imagined, which in a sense is me, must be discovered in someone else willing to take part in a fiction he cannot possibly know about.

The pictures have a reality for me that the people don't. It is through the photographs that I know them.

Sometimes I think all my pictures are just pictures of me. My concern is...the human predicament; only what I consider the human predicament may simply be my own.

I am always stimulated by people. Almost never by ideas.
