I hate cameras. They interfere, they’re always in the way. I wish: if I could just work with my eyes alone. To get a satisfactory print, one that contains all that you intended, is very often more difficult and dangerous than the sitting itself. When I’m photographing, I immediately know when I’ve got the image I really want. But to get the image out of the camera and into the open, is another matter.

Just advertising departments with legs and high heels.

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

My parents put the New Yorker in my crib. I saw Vogue and Vanity Fair around the house before I could read.

Anything is an art if you do it at the level of an art.

The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion.
