I think the reason why I never wanted to do a retrospective is because I was scared to go back and look at all this stuff through the years.

At the end of the day, what I show is real life. I tell the truth. And the truth can be shocking.

I tell people to frame the picture. Make the greatest, most perfect composition you can . . . and then take a step forward. It skews it a bit and makes it more interesting.

I am a storyteller. I've never been interested in just taking the single image and moving on. I always like to stay with the people I'm photographing for long periods of time.

For me there are no rules. I think I learned that from artists-from painters and sculptors. It took photography a while to catch up to them.

My greatest lesson in composition was looking at paintings.
