Annie Leibovitz

And, you know, I studied, you know, Cartier-Rozanne, Robert Frank and

and became interested in, you know, the world of, you know, Helmut Newton and, I mean, it's just a great, so I, I don't know, I just, my brothers and sisters seem to have the same problem, I don't know.

Really?

They're all, we're all, you know, very, very, kind of workaholics, I guess, you know.

I wasn't really aware of it as much.

I used it to my advantage, because no one really took me seriously or thought, you know, that, you know...

that I could do anything.

So you could kind of wander around.

I mean, the early work was reportage and more journalistic.

And so you could really be somewhere, and no one really paid you any attention.

And I love it.

And then as I got better known, it got a little harder.

Oh, interesting.

Suddenly my subject was walking up to me and starting to talk to me.

And I said, no, can you just please stay on the other side of the room?

So I have this incredible publisher, Phaidon, that lets me kind of...

do kind of what I want to do more or less.

And what happened was is Hillary Clinton had come to me over a year ago and said, we want to commemorate the original women's book from 1999.

And then I thought, well, that's incredible.

Maybe it's out of print.
