"The desire to discover, the desire to move, to capture the flavor, three concepts that describe the art of photography."
"I have always avoided photographing in the studio. A woman does not spend her life sitting or standing in front of a seamless white paper background. Although it makes my life more complicated, I prefer to take my camera out into the street... and places that are out of bounds for photographers have always had a special attraction for me."

"Photography is 10% inspiration and 90% moving furniture."
"I hate good taste. It's the worst thing that can happen to a creative person."
"My women are always victorious."
"It's that I don't like white paper backgrounds. A woman does not live in front of white paper. She lives on the street, in a motor car, in a hotel room."
