For me, the new pictures are what I'm thinking about every day. The past is the past, no? Every day is a new challenge.

When people ask me which is your favourite portrait, they expect it to be Diana, or someone famous. But the answer is my dog, Puffy. They think I mean Puff Daddy. No, it is the dog.

When you are a photographer, you work all the time, because your eye is the first camera.

Photography is like a moment, an instant. You need a half-second to get the photo. So it's good to capture people when they are themselves.

When you're a fashion photographer, you must inspire a dream.

I don't stop at my past; I like new work. I like what I'm doing tomorrow.

I don't take the camera out with me. My eyes are the camera for me every day.

My dog, Puffy. The dog is the perfect portrait subject. He doesn't pose. He isn't aware of the camera.

I love digital, but the only problem is less intimacy. People look at the screen right away. Before, nobody saw the picture before you saw the final picture. There was more privacy in a way.

I love my dog. Actually, the best portrait I did was of my dog.

Film is not very practical. The new world goes faster, and digital is very fast.

Discover where and what makes you come alive and make a deliberate decision to live there.

Party-spirit . . . which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.

Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.

There was an extensive collection of cookbooks in the well-stocked library, and he took to pouring over these in the evenings.

I was brought in, not in the photographic department at all, I was brought in on a thing called Special Skills. I was to do posters, pamphlets, murals, propaganda in general, you know.

The ultimate risk is not taking a risk.

Perugia is my true fatherland because there I grew to manhood.
