If I take enough pictures, I'm going to get a good one, and I know not to stop at a bad one.

I literally think I look bad in every picture.

I take a lot of pictures.

I made some good pictures, and I made some bad ones. I wasn't trying to build an image, though; I was trying to build a life for myself.

I'm not good at taking pictures. I can't give a good face. I crack up.

I do not like bad photographs. I don't like to be badly lit. There is a fashion, particularly on stage, for very 'toppy' lighting, which makes a child look 50. Ten o'clock is very good. If someone is taking a picture, you say, 'Lamps at 10 o'clock,' then everybody looks lovely.

It's far better to shoot a good picture than a good-looking picture.

With photography, I always think that it's not good enough.

I don't like gimmicky pictures; I've always hated them. I like pictures that are very clear and clean, whether you're a great street photographer - somebody like Friedlander or Winogrand or Cartier-Bresson - or whether you're a portraitist, like Irving Penn.
