You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can't.

You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can’t. It’s important to stay the course. I don’t think I would have lasted this long if I’d listened to anyone. You have to listen somewhat and then put that to the side and know that what you do matters.

Image
If I didn't have my camera to remind me constantly, I am here to do this, I would eventually have slipped away, I think. I would have forgotten my reason to exist.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I am impressed with what happens when someone stays in the same place and you took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
There are still so many places on our planet that remain unexplored. I'd love to one day peel back the mystery and understand them.

Image
I was out there with the White House press squad, and after his helicopter took off, and the carpet rolled up...This wasn't a photograph that others were taking, but I continued to take pictures.

Image
There is a myth that the portrait photographer is supposed to make the subject relax, and that's the real person. But I'm interested in whatever is going on. And I'm not that comfortable myself.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I've always cared more about taking pictures than about the art market.

Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.

At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.
