I don't know what love means.

When you do portraits professionally it's not a desire, it's for money.

You see, I became kind of a drop-out in science after I came back to America.

My mind is vacant on names, but I know him as well as anything. When I need names they drop out of my head; when I don't need them they drop back.

I was poor. When you're poor you work, and when you're rich you expect somebody to hand it to you. So I think being reasonably poor is very good for people.

When I need names they drop out of my head; when I don't need them they drop back.

I don't think there's any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little. People have to be their own learners. They have to have a certain talent.

When people ask me silly questions about my private life, I just say, I don't discuss that.

I turn people into human beings by not making them into gods.

There are certain things you don't discuss with Ansel, especially if you don't agree.

I was brought up on art. My father thought I had a great hand at art and sent me to art school. But he did not want me to become a photographer.

I hate big models.

I was invited to photograph Hollywood. They asked me what I would like to photograph. I said, Ugly men.

Everybody who does anything for the public can be criticized. There's always someone who doesn't like it.

Well, I turn people into human beings by not making them into gods.

I became kind of a drop-out in science after I came back to America. I wanted to photograph.

I don't love the world. I think Jupiter should have hit us.

A woman said to me when she first sat down, You're photographing the wrong side of my face. I said, Oh, is there one?

I don't resent anything.

I don't talk about success. I don't know what it is. Wait until I'm dead.

I never stopped photographing. There were a couple of years when I didn't have a darkroom, but that didn't stop me from photographing.

I think San Francisco is the best place in the whole world for an easy life.

When People magazine called me, I did the job on Ansel. I'm older than Ansel and he has to mind me.

I'd never kill myself for a man. I wouldn't do it for anybody.

Get it out of your historic head.

Oh, you ask me, what is the greatest torture of a person who does portraits for a living? I could fill several volumes with nice nasty stories. I don't know.

I told the students that whatever they did in class was for the wastebasket.

It's silly to keep people alive who have a terrible disease.

I don't know what love means.

Anybody is influenced by where and how he lives.

Some people say to me, Isn't it too bad that people discovered you so late? I never thought that.

The thing thats fascinating about portraiture is that nobody is alike.

The formula for doing a good job in photography is to think like a poet.

We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship.

I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.

I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.

I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.

The essential elements of giving are power and love - activity and affection - and the consciousness of the race testifies that in the high and appropriate exercise of these is a blessedness greater than any other.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die.

I love my DSL, but I love my WiFi more. And I probably get on the Internet 40 percent to 50 percent more because of the combination of those technologies.

But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.

We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together.

Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.
