When People magazine called me, I did the job on Ansel. I'm older than Ansel and he has to mind me.

I was brought up on art. My father thought I had a great hand at art and sent me to art school. But he did not want me to become a photographer.

I told the students that whatever they did in class was for the wastebasket.

Some people say to me, Isn't it too bad that people discovered you so late? I never thought that.

I don't think there's any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little. People have to be their own learners. They have to have a certain talent.

When people ask me silly questions about my private life, I just say, I don't discuss that.
