My Life Has Been Quite Interesting Professionally.

Now Very Often Events Are Set Up For Photographers... The Weddings Are Orchestrated About The Photographers Taking The Picture, Because If It Hasn't Been Photographed It Doesn't Really Exist.

I See No Difference Between My Pictures That People Consider Amusing And The Rest. To Me, It's All Serious Work - They're Just A Reaction To What I See. I Don't Leave This Apartment In The Morning And Say To Myself 'today I'm Going To Be Funny And Tomorrow I'm Going To Be Sad.'

I Am Serious About Not Being Serious.

Covering A Historic Event Is Perfectly Legitimate. It's Not Sneaking Into Somebody's Boudoir... These People Belong To History, And Not To Record That If You Have The Opportunity Would Be Wrong.

In Those Simpler Days, You Could Just Take Pictures Of Movie Stars And Show Them The Way They Were, As Normal Human Beings. And If I Felt Part Of Any Movement At The Time, It Was Just To Do That - To Be Journalistic And Photograph What Is, Rather Than What Is Made Up.
