“When you go to take someone's picture, the first thing they say is, wh...” — Annie Leibovitz Quote

“When you go to take someone's picture, the first thing they say is, what you want me to do? Everyone is very awkward.”

“Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.”

“I was scared to do anything in the studio because it felt so claustrophobic. I wanted to be somewhere where things could happen and the subject wasn't just looking back at you.”

“I've created a vocabulary of different styles. I draw from many different ways to take a picture. Sometimes I go back to reportage, to journalism.”

“In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what's going on, but it's representative.”

“The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!”

“It's partly true that I am not seen that often in public. Well, I'm just socially awkward, especially around people I'm not familiar with. But once you get to know me, I'm quite a chatterbox.”

“Getting up to dance to your own stuff looks pretty pretentious. And leaving the dancefloor when it comes on is just awkward.”

“Sometimes, you can not click with somebody, and it can feel awkward.”

“I did start out quiet, and I found out you can change a person's life by simply saying, 'Hey,' or, 'How was your day?' Not everybody gets that opportunity with the way society views you or how you look or the way you dress or how you interact. You hear the weird cliches: socially awkward. I think we're all socially awkward.”

“Directing is a whole series of things that would be awkward socially. But I love that. I love actors. Talking with them, touching, laughing, crying.”

“I'm pretty good with talking to girls if I have an introduction, but I'm the worst at trying to go pick up a girl. I'm really bad at breaking the ice. It's awkward!”
