I had this notion of what I called a democratic way of looking around, that nothing was more or less important.

I don't think about what camera I should use that much. I just pick up the one that looks nicest on the day.

I don't look at other photographs much at all. I don't know why. I study my own a lot.

The immediate reviews were very hostile, but they didn't bother me-I had the attitude that I was right. The poor guys who were critics just didn't understand the works at all. I was sorry about that, but it didn't weigh on my mind a bit.

I would play music every day from the time I was about 4 or 5 years old. Every time I would go from one end of the house to the other, I would pass the piano and play a few notes.

I am at war with the obvious.

You become technically proficient whether you want to or not, the more you take pictures.
