I can see myself as a very old man in a terrific wheelchair. Only, I won't be photographing the tree outside my window, the way Steichen did. I'll be photographing other old people.

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

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

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

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.

Sometimes I think all my pictures are just pictures of me. My concern is...the human predicament; only what I consider the human predicament may simply be my own.
