Annie Leibovitz

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

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

Lennon was very helpful. What he taught me seems completely obvious: he expected people to treat each other well.

Consulting the rules of composition before taking a photograph, is like consulting the laws of gravity before going for a walk.

That is the definition of equal justice under law: everyone gets a fair shot, everyone pays their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
