Actors are hard to photograph because they never want to reveal who they are. You don't know if you're getting a character from a Chekhov play or a Polanski film. It depends what mood they're in.

You have to kind of be invisible when you photograph children, so you use a longer lens.

It's only a few nutcases who do art for themselves, like Van Gogh.

In '73 I photographed the cannibals in New Guinea. They treated me OK but they didn't make you feel relaxed... I managed to escape unscathed though, I'm pretty good at that.

I'm never shocked, I'm not the shockable type!

Being handsome wasn't much of a burden. It worked for me.

The Sixties was a time of breaking down class barriers, although I think class still exists today in some areas.
