- "It's total fodder for narcissism, you know" — Ivanka Trump
- "For the over-40 crowd, cramming into a photobooth with as many friends as you can fit is a trip down memory lane. For the younger set, it is a cool new trend."
- "In the 1930s, having instant photobooth pictures taken was still in the 'treat' category, definitely a 'lark'... on a par with an ice cream soda date!"
- "Spontaneous, goofy, or touching there is something both strangely familiar and absolutely fresh about photobooth pictures."
- "If you want to know if a person likes you, ask them to go take photos with you in the photo booth. It's like truth serum in there."
- "Photobooths seem to give permission to be silly and inventive, and as pompous or unpretentious as one wishes to be. What a wide gamut of emotions... what an array of poses! My favorites are different each time I look through my old photos... those hair do's! those hats!"
- "I've always loved photobooths — the spontaneity, the posing, even the format is adorable. A good friend maintains the best present she ever received from me was the photobooth photos we had done when we met, which I framed, and I still smile when I think of that day and the silly posing.""
- "The photobooth has become Hollywood's latest trend; celebrities such as Quentin Tarantino and Dave Navarro are buying them for their homes. But when the curtain closes, everybody becomes a superstar. Their true personality comes out."
- "I am a baby boomer, born in the late 1940s. The photobooth brought back a series of memories; musical groups with close harmonies, roller skate keys on lanyards and Bonomo's Turkish Taffee. How much fun it was, back in the 50's, to be able to art direct your own 4 photos for a quarter, especially without your parents looking through the viewfiner!"
- "The appeal is pure nostalgia. I constantly see people pulling out pictures from their wallet. When they remember getting in the photobooth, they have to smile."
- "Photo booths did seem to give permission to be silly and inventive, and as pompous or unpretentious as one wished to be. What a wide gamut of emotions — what an array of poses! My favorites are different each time I look through the book - those hair do's! those hats!"
- "It's a way to add entertainment, besides a band. Parties need that extra punch."
- "Seems like parties I go to — I've always complained about how they have no kind of decor. You know, there are parties where they have so much money in the budget to really put on something that people are going to remember — I just loved this."
- "The nostalgic photobooth is a relic of our futuristic coin-operated past, like the jukebox, the phone booth, the automat — 20th century inventions that were intended to make life more convenient for all."
- "Taking a trip back in time is as simple as pulling a curtain, perching on a stool, waiting for the red blinking light, and making goofy faces."
- Person 1:"It was, like, very heavenly." Person 2:"Oh, wholeheartedly."
- "The idea was to bring people who are here into the event. So, the point is: you are the event. That's it in a nutshell."
