"As far as I’m concerned, paparazzi photography, as I know it, is over. The three big icons are gone: Jackie Onassis, Princess Diana and Liz Taylor. They were the heavyweights. They were the magnets that drew swarming paparazzi, including myself. Today we have featherweights: Britney, Lindsay, Paris and Nicole. They receive more publicity than the icons of yesterday; a sad reflection on our culture. Today, the paparazzi are gangbangers."
