Fortunately I didn't get educated because if I'd got educated I'd be an educated fool now.

My friends are all megalomaniacs - from Damien Hirst to Jack Nicholson - all of them.

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.

It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

My paintings are rubbish.

I didn't try and do fashion pictures. I tried to do portraits of girls wearing dresses.

The trouble with people like Tony Blair is they get confused, they think intelligence is education when they're two different things.
