So I went to Chicago in 1940, I think, '41, and the photographs that I made there, aside from fashion, were things that I was trying to express in a social conscious way.

And I think that after nearly 85 years upon this planet that I have a right after working so hard at showing the desolation and the poverty, to show something beautiful for somebody as well.

I think maybe the rural influence in my life helped me in a sense, of knowing how to get close to people and talk to them and get my work done.

I don't try to make the first move; I always wait for them to make it. He was trying to go for my legs, and that's something I've worked on countering.

I think it's cool that London Fashion Week is about young designers trying wacky things.

I think it's an okay thing to express yourself.
