Anybody can be a great photographer if they zoom in enough on what they love.

I don't like any sport except boxing and bull fighting.

I didn't know a time when there wasn't a war because I spent all my time from the age of two or three to eight in a coal cellar really.

I never tried to revolutionise photography; I just do what I do and keep my fingers crossed that people will like it.

All I could do at school was paint and draw and that was the only time I ever passed any exam. It was the only thing I ever got right at school.

I had a terrible time with feminists in the Seventies. They hated me, those women. I think they hated everything.

All pictures are unnatural. All pictures are sad because they're about dead people. Paintings you don't think of in a special time or with a specific event. With photos I always think I'm looking at something dead.
