“Someone who is comfortable, someone who is happy, you see them immediately sit up, stand up and feel better about themselves. If you're able to capture that in a picture, that's the most beautiful picture you can ever take of someone.”

“My daughter's first sentence was, 'Dada no hair.' And I was, like, 'No Jasmine, Dada does have hair, Dada just shaves his head.'”

“Certainly, people feel awkward when they have their photograph taken. They want to see it, but they don't want to see it.”

“Designers simply can't afford to make dresses in 10 sizes for a sample.”

“It's ironic to watch a dress on a mannequin or a model on a catwalk who's not anything like the person that's going to buy it.”

“If you are going out, and if you want women to pick you up, wear skinny jeans. Trust me: women will be looking at your legs and looking at your butt. When I wear skinny jeans, at least one woman will tell me, 'Nice butt.'”

“I have a book out called 'The Beauty Equation' and it discusses how off track we have gone in considering beauty.”

“As soon as you 'Botox' your smile lines away, you lose part of your identity.”

“For me the most important thing to do in a selfie is to have an opinion and to say something with the picture. Don't just take a picture of yourself like, 'Here I am.' It's what are you thinking? Are you happy? Are you angry? Do you like it? Do you not like it? Think an emotion and apply it to your eyes.”

“There's almost an element of selfies that is like photo therapy. People look upon themselves in a picture and then they critique themselves without knowing so, and that's what's happening on mass on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.”

“My favorite memory is Tomorrow. Tomorrow's family moments are what I look forward to every day. No single favorite. Just Tomorrow.”

“In life, you don't judge people on how they are at home, you judge them on how they are at work.”

“Nonni's Biscotti Bites fit perfectly in my camera bag for a spontaneous break between photo shoots.”

“Kate Moss is small and not necessarily model dimensions but she has that special something.”

“I once died my hair blonde, and it looked like an orangey-red carrot top. It was the '80s, and I was trying to look like George Michael. At the time, the ladies loved it, and I loved it too!”

“I photograph different people all the time. I like to shoot all kinds of people.”
