I think with most all of us, we want control of our image - it's part of the work that we do.

We are obsessed with image. I don't think we should take it that seriously.

I don't like people looking at someone else's image.

I never want people to be repulsed with my pictures; I always want to attract people.

Nowadays we have so many things that take our attention - phones, Internet - and perhaps we need to disconnect from those and focus on the immediate world around us and the people that are actually present.

When you take a picture of someone, never show it to them right away. If they don't like it, they may erase it.

Every picture has its own demands, and every picture stimulates something within you to tell it a certain way. I don't know what that is; I don't think too much about that.

Our memories are convenient lies we create, cribbing images from others' experiences. We discard the personal specifics which don't conform to the ideal conventional beauty created by art directors and cinematographers.

We share a huge visual memory bank, mostly through painting and other images in history. I think when a modern photograph taps into those, sometimes very subliminally, it makes people respond.

An image is a stop the mind makes between uncertainties.
