I love 'The Omen,' just as a piece of plotting.

With The Omen, I really felt I wasn't in control. It was panic.

I thought I was taking pictures of things that I hated. But there was something about these pictures. They were unexpectedly, disconcertingly glorious.

I'm even embarrassed at times when my friends come upon my pictures.

I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That's like fighting with ghosts.

And the reason I really appreciated this is because after the picture came out, I was invited by the American Psychiatric Association to give a lecture. I couldn't believe it!

It was the winter of war, in 1939. It felt completely pointless to try to create pictures... I suddenly felt an urge to write down something that was to begin with 'Once upon a time.'

I remember as a kid not ever wanting to have friends around to my house because it was, for want of a better description, disheveled.

Every picture has been a learning opportunity for me.
