I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.

I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.

One doesn't stop seeing. One doesn't stop framing. It doesn't turn off and turn on. It's on all the time.

Everyone has a point of view. Some people call it style, but what we're really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures.

When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.

A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.

Things happen in front of you. That's perhaps the most wonderful and mysterious aspect of photography.

A lot can be told from what happens in between the main moments.

I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

I feel a responsibility to my backyard. I want it to be taken care of and protected.

A garden isn't meant to be useful. It's for joy.

Research suggests that investment bankers are more prone to commit fraud when they feel the competitor at their heels.

Take care to be an economist in prosperity. There is no fear of your being one in adversity.

A good laugh heals a lot of hurts.

Teach not with your words, but with your actions; not with discussion but with demonstration. For it is what you do that your children will emulate, and how you are that they will become.

I like my body so much better after I had kids. Is that a crazy thing to say? I'm more womanly. I feel sexier.

Nevertheless, I have no political agenda whatsoever, even though some might think the contrary.
