When I Started Working For Rolling Stone,

When I Started To Be Published I Thought About Margaret Bourke-white And The Whole Journalistic Approach To Things. I Believed I Was Supposed To Catch Life Going By Me - That I Wasn't To Alter It Or Tamper With It - That I Was Just To Watch What Was Going On And Report It As Best I Could. This Shoot With John Was Different. I Got Involved, And I Realized That You Can't Help But Be Touched By What Goes On In Front Of You. I No Longer Believe That There Is Such A Thing As Objectivity.

I Actually Love Talking About Taking Pictures, And I Think That Helps Everyone.

It's A Heavy Weight, The Camera. Now We Have Modern And Lightweight, Small Plastic Cameras, But In The '70s They Were Heavy Metal.

I Don't Try To Overintellectua Lize My Concepts Of People. In Fact, The Ideas I Have, If You Talk About Them, They Seem Extremely Corny And It's Only In Their Execution That People Can Enjoy Them...it's Something I've Learned To Trust: The Stupider It Is, The Better It Looks.

There's An Idea That It's Hard To Be A Woman Artist. People Assume That Women Have Fewer Opportunities, Less Power. But It's Not Any Harder To Be A Woman Artist Than To Be A Male Artist. We All Take What We Are Given And Use The Parts Of Ourselves That Feed The Work. We Make Our Way. Photographers, Men And Women, Are Particularly Lucky. Photography Lets You Find Yourself. It Is A Passport To People And Places And To Possibilities.
