Steven Klein說到：“ Madonna可能是世界上最受歡迎的偶像。但是我并不打算把圖像與她的身份聯系起來，她需要屈從于作品的表現方式，而且她也非常樂意這么做。”

　　“拍攝的本質可能是非個人的，你周圍的人越多—進來的，打岔的，分散你注意力的—都可以改變你和你拍攝的這個人的關系。我仍然認為這就是簡單的拍攝主體和攝影師的關系。”

　　“It’s like, maybe, you know, Madonna is one of the biggest icons in the world, but I don’t connect with them because of their standing. I’ve connected with them because of their way of morphing into my pictures, and they are willing to go there with me.”

　　“It can get impersonal. The more people you have around—walking in, interfering, distracting—it changes the relationship you have with the person you’re photographing. I still think there should be this simple idea of subject and photographer.”
