I did grow up next door to Steve McQueen, who was a very famous movie star at the time, but as a kid it didn't impress me. We always had great fun with him. He would take us out on Sundays on his motorcycles, riding around in the desert; he was like a second father. - Herb Ritts

Your camera is the best critic there is. Critics never see as much as the camera does. It is more perceptive than the human eye. - Douglas Sirk
