Photography is about finding things. And painting is different - it's about making something.

My father thought photography was done by lowlifes.

I may be old-fashioned. But I believe there is such a thing as a search for beauty - a delight in the nice things in the world. And I don't think one should have to apologise for it.

When I am listening to Vivaldi or Japanese music or making spaghetti at 3 in the morning and realize that I don't have the proper sauce for it, fame is of no use.

My family was very unhappy about my becoming a photographer - profoundly and deeply unhappy.

There are the things that are out in the open, and there are the things that are hidden. The real world has more to do with what is hidden.
