“I'm known for taking pictures very close, and the older I get, the closer I get.”

“I believe that the people I photograph have always been my interpreters, and my messengers in the constant, blunt and direct conversation that I’m having with the world as I see it around me.”

“I grew up in New York, and New York was the world. I travelled to 70 countries but I did not know Middle America at all. Most people don’t care to know.”

“When people look at my photographs, I don’t want to tell them what’s in the picture. I want them to look at it and make up their own story.”
