At the beginning, people laughed at me because I was using snappies. Sometimes, a celebrity would look at my camera and go, Oh, I've got one of those. I'd feel like handing it to them and saying, Well, you take the pictures then. But I like using snapshot cameras because they're idiot-proof. I have bad eyesight, and I'm no good at focusing big cameras.

I look fondly back on renegade days of my youth. Not the partying or anything, but it's still the spirit that I have always adhered to. When I do work that I like, it feels like a great punk song, like a burst of adrenaline. I've always kept this spirit in me, or some sort of connection to it.
-- Terry Richardson
