I am, and forever will be, devastated by the gift of Audrey Hepburn before my camera. I cannot lift her to greater heights. She is already there. I can only record. I cannot interpret her. There is no going further than who she is. She has achieved in herself her ultimate portrait.

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

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

Faces are the ledgers of our experience.

One man's fantasy is another man's job.

Sometimes I think all my pictures are just pictures of me.

Marilyn Monroe gave more to the still camera than any actress, any woman I've ever photographed; infinitely more patient, more demanding of herself and more comfortable in front of the camera than away from it.
