People, unprotected by their roles, become isolated in beauty and intellect and illness and confusion.

Real people move, they bear with them the element of time. It is this fourth dimension of people that I try to capture in a photograph.

I am always stimulated by people. Almost never by ideas.

I can see myself as a very old man in a terrific wheelchair. Only, I won't be photographing the tree outside my window, the way Steichen did. I'll be photographing other old people.

People - running from unhappiness, hiding in power - are locked within their reputations, ambitions, beliefs.

I've photographed just about everyone in the world. But what I hope to do is photograph people of accomplishment, not celebrity, and help define the difference once again.
