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.

When I started working for Rolling Stone, I became very interested in journalism and thought maybe that's what I was doing, but it wasn't.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!

Photography is not something you retire from.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
A photograph is just a little, teeny-weeny, small piece of life. I feel like I see so much more than what I can actually get.

As you get older, you have different tools, and you learn to use photography differently.
Annie Leibovitz
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.

When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.
