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

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

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

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

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.

A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he's being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he's wearing or how he looks. He's implicated in what's happening, and he has a certain real power over the result.

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