If I could do what I want with my eyes alone, I would be happy.
My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.
People, unprotected by their roles, become isolated in beauty and intellect and illness and confusion.
The pictures have a reality for me that the people don't. It is through the photographs that I know them.
To be an artist, you have to nurture the things that most people discard.
I always prefer to work in the studio. It isolates people from their environment
