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.

The first thing I think of when I hear the name of Lucille Ball is a Hollywood legend. I have fond memories of growing up at her house, but she was a different person off the set than she was on the set.

I knew I was going to be famous later in life.

Why don't you put that in the headline: 'He Only Did Three With Doris!' Set a lot of people straight.

There was a time in American history when almost every white person knew who Aretha Franklin was.

I always knew my mom was a good actress.

I like sunny stories. You know, my favorite girls in the '50s were Debbie Reynolds, Doris Day, and Esther Williams.

I grew up on Bette Davis movies, and Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe.

The younger Mary J. Blige, I would call her, she was very unaware, ignorant.
