I knew Marilyn over a two-year period. I met her first on a movie called 'Let's Make Love.' I photographed her at that time on and off through the time of her death. I was 22 years old and she was 34 or 35.

I used to devour biographies of people like Natalie Wood and Marilyn.

I basically read every book ever written about Marilyn Monroe.

I've always been drawn to Marilyn Monroe, but certain aspects of her story may be too sad to tell.

I had a really good time with Martha Stewart, who also is somebody I really admire a lot. I've learned a lot from her and I think all of America has, about attention to detail and using fresh ingredients and making things beautiful and special.

When you've experienced the real Marilyn, it's difficult to watch a movie about her.' I didn't want to have the memories of my experience tarnished in any way.

I met and became close with John Szarkowski of the Museum of Modern Art. He was incredibly supportive about me working in color.

I just feel a connection with Marilyn Monroe. I just love her. I just completely feel what she went through.

Marilyn was terrible to work with. I was fond of her, she was a nice girl, but she was a damaged girl. She was very difficult. You couldn't get her on the set; she didn't know the words.

Well, I've maybe gotten 200 requests for interviews about Marilyn, and I just decided I'm gonna do my own.
