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

To be an artist, you have to nurture the things that most people discard.

I see pictures of myself and I always knew that what I was feeling didn't look like that guy in the pictures.

A portrait isn't a fact but an opinion - an occasion rather than a truth.

There's always been a separation between fashion and what I call my 'deeper' work. Fashion is where I make my living. I'm not knocking it. It's a pleasure to make a living that way. It's pleasure and then there's the deeper pleasure of doing my portraits. It's not important what I consider myself to be, but I consider myself to be a portrait photographer.

If I could do what I want with my eyes alone, I would be happy.

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.
