“The early material — shot not just by me, obviously — has become regarded as some kind of art form, which was not what we were looking for. We thought we were rebels, outsiders, on the lam, stirring things up in the ‘70s. Now it’s all been embraced by the culture.”

“I loved the rockers, the power they projected onstage, their unpredictable nature, the freedom they fomented. And I was game for just about anything then. I was not interested in a career. I wanted adventures.”
“A soul is a little more difficult to get out. People’s souls are very mysterious — but the aura is not. I want that certain kind of mystical energy.”

“Freddie Mercury was one of my favorite human beings… He was a gem of a man, as gracious as any I’ve known.”
“I was tripping on LSD with a young lady. I picked up a friend’s camera and loved the added intensity and explosions it made as I clicked.”

“I like to catch my subjects off balance a bit. My allegiance was always to the act. I wanted them to be happy.”
