"I love photography. And I just eat it up. I feel like I'm an encyclopedia, you know, inside." — Annie Leibovitz

I've learned to create a palette, a vocabulary of ways to take pictures.

When you go to take someone's picture, the first thing they say is, what you want me to do? Everyone is very awkward.

When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see.

I can't stand the word 'celebrity.' It's such a brash word.
