“When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see.” — 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.

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

As a young person, and I know it's hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn't do normally if I was just by myself.
