Truly it is glorious, our being here.
I'm pretty solitary when I take pictures. Even when I take pictures of people, I just go about my own way of doing it.
I am excited about more than just youth culture, and youth is also stretching a bit longer now. But I have to say resistance and disregard keeps me excited.
I do feel a kinship with anthropology or ethnography, although when you hear those terms you think of something exotic. Generally, photographic anthropology has that taste of the faraway or undiscovered place. But my anthropology has more to do with what's in my reach.
I think I'm predominantly known for my portraits. Obviously in my work there are landscape or stilllife elements, but mainly my work is people. . .
I always thought that I was lazy because I could never tell if I was working or not. I was making things, which doesn't seem like work.
I have always made films simultaneously, so they go hand in hand. I think that my books are like films.
What I can tell them is the way you become an Olympic champion is to start working now. I tell them why it's always worth it to put the time and effort into something you want to be good at.
I really want people to understand that nobody is perfect and that things happen in life beyond our control.
Why should there be the method of science? There is not just one way to build a house, or even to grow tomatoes. We should not expect something as motley as the growth of knowledge to be strapped to one methodology.
I'm one of those people who go through the world giving other people thrills, but getting few myself except those I read into men on such nights as these. I have the social courage to go on the stage, but not the energy; I haven't the patience to write books; and I never met a man I'd marry. However, I'm only eighteen.
