Shoot what you can't help but shoot

To me, style is like your fingerprint. Nobody else has it.

I never do pictures that I've done before - but I really try not to. Whenever I get an assignment I try to think how to shoot this person for this story in this magazine at this point in time.

People aren't hiring just a picture, they're hiring someone they can work with. That plays a big role .

My brother used to say some people have an "inferiority simplex." It's not that they're under the delusion that they're inferior; they actually are inferior and they secretly know it.

She reflected she must be completely besotted about Peter, if his laughter could hallow an aspidistra.

It was a cookie, not a crack pipe.

I think that rather being overly-friendly at first, having a cold first impression and slowly making them realize that I'm not that cold is better.

Irritation. I'm too old to get angry. Anger, that's an emotion for more serious things

I've practiced centering prayer. I've contemplatively prayed. I've prayed liturgically... I've benefited from each, and I still do. In ways you'll see, elements of each style are still with me.

Heard about the young deaf boy who used sign language-One day he told his mother a dirty joke and she washed his hands out with soap

My favorite type of music to sing would be between R and B and opera.

You don’t need help to write a song. You just need to get over this experience that bummed you out so bad. The relationship you were in is over, it was over a long time ago, and you need to move on.
