I've never liked the word 'celebrity.' I like to photograph people who are good at what they do.
People buy ideas, they don't buy photographs.
Lennon was very helpful. What he taught me seems completely obvious: he expected people to treat each other well.
When you involve people, they come out, you see them, you get to see their sense of humor.
What I am interested in now is the landscape. Pictures without people. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually there are no people in my pictures. It is so emotional.
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.
Most people, especially successful people, are hard-working. They want to participate. They want to do things well.
Everyone has a point of view. Some people call it style, but what we're really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures.
