A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed

I've photographed just about everyone in the world. But what I hope to do is photograph people of accomplishment, not celebrity, and help define the difference once again.

i think charm is the ability to be truly interested in other people

I know that the accident of my being a photographer has made my life possible.

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.

I hate cameras. They interfere, they're always in the way. I wish: if I could work with my eyes alone.
