He Sleeps Fastest Who Sleeps

Marilyn Monroe Gave More To The Still Camera Than Any Actress, Any Woman I've Ever Photographed; Infinitely More Patient, More Demanding Of Herself And More Comfortable In Front Of The Camera Than Away From It.

There's Always Been A Separation Between Fashion And What I Call My 'deeper' Work. Fashion Is Where I Make My Living. I'm Not Knocking It. It's A Pleasure To Make A Living That Way. It's Pleasure And Then There's The Deeper Pleasure Of Doing My Portraits. It's Not Important What I Consider Myself To Be, But I Consider Myself To Be A Portrait Photographer.

I Always Prefer To Work In The Studio. It Isolates People From Their Environment. They Become In A Sense... Symbolic Of Themselves. I Often Feel That People Come To Me To Be Photographed As They Would Go To A Doctor Or A Fortune Teller - To Find Out How They Are.

My Parents Put The New Yorker In My Crib. I Saw Vogue And Vanity Fair Around The House Before I Could Read.

A Photographic Portrait Is A Picture Of Someone Who Knows He's Being Photographed, And What He Does With This Knowledge Is As Much A Part Of The Photograph As What He's Wearing Or How He Looks. He's Implicated In What's Happening, And He Has A Certain Real Power Over The Result.
