When people ask me silly questions about my private life, I just say, I don't discuss that.

Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow.

I don't love the world. I think Jupiter should have hit us.

The formula for doing a good job in photography is to think like a poet.

Everybody who does anything for the public can be criticized. There's always someone who doesn't like it.

I don't think there's any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little. People have to be their own learners. They have to have a certain talent.

The thing that's fascinating about portraiture is that nobody is alike.

Which is my best picture? The one I will do tomorrow.

So many people dislike themselves so thoroughly that they never see any reproduction of themselves that suits. None of us is born with the right face. It’s a tough job being a portrait photographer.

In the study of the fine arts, they mutually assist each other.

I could be a housewife… I guess I’ve vacuumed a couple of times.

...that horrible moment of suspense when the artist shows one of his creations to strange eyes for the first time.

I think I came along at an opportune time. I don't know if that would happen anymore, because the whole way of doing business in Hollywood has changed.

You can't be fearless, remember? Because you still care about things. About your life.
