Barbra Streisand, Los Angeles, 1972
"Barbra Streisand has an amazing sense of what is right for her career. One of the secrets of her success is to demand her own way and she is almost always right in her choices and taste."

"Those who joined the Selma March could hold the flag high. It was a long symbolic walk and the possibility of violence was always there. Dr. King, the symbol of the non-violent revolution seemed to scour the crowds with a portent of what might follow."



Warhol Entourage Triptych, New York, 1965 (Henry Geldzahler, Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol and Gerard Malanga)
"All of New York’s socialite art collectors doted on Andy Warhol. They would invite him to lavish dinners to show him off as their friend. Andy’s Entourage would tend to go off to the side and talk amongst themselves, ignoring their hosts."



David Bowie, New Mexico, 1975
"When I was first photographing David Bowie, he kept changing the most fantastic outfits so quickly that many of them never got photographed. He would come out of the dressing room and before I could lift up a camera he went running back to make an adjustment. He would return twenty minutes later as a totally different person."



Buster Keaton, New York, 1964
"Buster Keaton, one of the great silent film stars, worked with Samuel Beckett on a film called 'Film.' It was a strange meeting of two worlds. Keaton, the master of visual sight gags and Beckett, the introverted intellectual."



Dancers at The Apollo Theater, Harlem, 1961
"The colorful Apollo Theater in Harlem is a music tastemaker's palace for established performers like Aretha Franklin and new talent as well. The audience is always vocal and once I saw a new 'diva' booed right off the stage."



Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay) Shadow Boxing, Louisville, Kentucky, 1963
"I photographed Muhammad Ali, then Cassius Clay, at his parents' house after he had won the Golden Gloves Championship. During the day he would shadowbox in the living room if he was not playing monopoly with the kids in the neighborhood or riding his bicycle with them."



Dustin Hoffman and Bob Fosse, Miami, 1973
"I have worked with Dustin Hoffman on a number of films. His warm human nature and sense of humor always extends beyond the time that the camera is rolling. On 'Lenny,' with Bob Fosse directing, at the end of the work day he was still leaping about."

Yves Montand, Fifth Avenue, New York 1961
"Yves Montand, was walking on Fifth Avenue in between performances in his one man show on Broadway. Some people just have charisma."



Dublin Hippies, 2003
"Dublin Hippies in 2001 were no different from the Hippies I had photographed in Haight Ashbury. They expressed joy all day and had little to do with the problems of the outside world."



Beggar in Prague, 2001
"Walking at night in Prague, I saw this beggar lying prone on a bridge. People went by careful not to step on him, but giving him no money. It was a very cold night."

"On the campaign trail, Robert Kennedy was loved by young and old. Everyone wanted to shake his hand and be close to him. He was, for me, a friend and a man who had the intelligence and sense of caring that could well have changed the direction of America."



Robert De Niro, "Taxi Driver," New York, 1975
"Robert De Niro becomes the characters he plays both internally and externally. To prepare for the part of Travis Bickel for 'Taxi Driver' he drove a New York cab at night for a month."



Martin Scorsese, Gun and Grapes, New York, 1975
"Martin Scorsese’s early films had a New York toughness. I worked with him on 'Taxi Driver.' He seemed at all times to feel the weight of his work, heavy on his shoulders. It truly was a film that was more guns than grapes."



Mia Farrow and Child, Bora Bora, 1978
"Mia Farrow has a great love for children. Working in Bora Bora she found this young girl and brought her close to her heart."
