I don't have two lives. This is one life, and the personal pictures and the assignment work are all part of it.

Photography is not something you retire from.

As a young person, and I know it’s hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn’t do normally if I was just by myself.

The camera makes you forget you're there. It's not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.

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

A photograph is just a little, teeny-weeny, small piece of life. I feel like I see so much more than what I can actually get.

People buy ideas, they don't buy photographs.

As you get older, you have different tools, and you learn to use photography differently.

I'm pretty used to people not liking having their picture taken. I mean, if you do like to have your picture taken, I worry about you.
