Annie Leibovitz

I've never liked the word 'celebrity.' I like to photograph people who are good at what they do.

I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.

Without effective protection of the citizens' right to property, it will be difficult to attract and accumulate valuable capital.

I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists. They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me.
