Photograph the world as it is. Nothing's more interesting than reality.

To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.

I love to photograph people in their own environment. It offers clues to what's important in their lives.

I'm just interested in people on the edges. I feel an affinity for people who haven't had the best breaks in society. I'm always on their side. I find them more human, maybe. What I want to do more than anything is acknowledge their existence.

Looking at my own prom photograph reminds me of how significant that moment was - and how fleeting life is.

Sometimes I work on film sets. I've done this for 40 years. I always wanted to photograph on the set of an Ingmar Bergman film. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity.
