Owens, Bill	U.S. (born 1938)	I take nude modeling seriously. It's hard to get jobs because so many people are ready to fling off their clothes.

Owens, Bill	U.S. (born 1938)	The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (B.P.O.E.) is the largest fraternal organization in the world.

Owens, Bill	U.S. (born 1938)	Being a salesman is easy. It's fun to manipulate people, to get a reaction, to find out where they're at. I used to be in management; I hated it. All I want to do is sell furniture, from the series "Working”	1976, printed 2006	2018.282
Owens, Bill	U.S. (born 1938)	America is the best country in the world. In Azores we'd go to the movies and America would seem like a dream.

Owens, Bill	U.S. (born 1938)	I’m a refugee from China. I sew pockets on pants. Every day I have work, and living here is easy. In China it's hard to find a job. Someone has to recommend you.

Owens, Bill	U.S. (born 1938)	When my health got bad I quit the dry-cleaning business and started playing rhythm and blues full time. Nobody can play my style.

Owens, Bill	U.S. (born 1938)	As the plant manager, I find the development of the hydro harvester a real challenge.

Owens, Bill	U.S. (born 1938)	I’m one of the first freak fishermen on the West Coast. It's a lifestyle rather than a living.
