I may be old-fashioned. But I believe there is such a thing as a search for beauty - a delight in the nice things in the world. And I don't think one should have to apologise for it.
I spent a great deal of my life being ignored. I was always very happy that way.
Being ignored is a great privilege. That is how I think I learned to see what others do not see and to react to situations differently. I simply looked at the world, not really prepared for anything.
I'm sometimes mystified by people who keep diaries. I never thought of my existence as being that important.
In order to build a career and to be successful, one has to be determined. One has to be ambitious. I much prefer to drink coffee, listen to music, and to paint when I feel like it.
A window covered with raindrops interests me more than a photograph of a famous person.
I am not immersed in self-admiration.
I have been told that some of my photographs maybe indicate that I am a painter.
My brothers were rabbis. My grandfather was a rabbi.
