I didn't know I was going to live for 50 years. It has come as a shock.

Rather than knowing more, I think I've got more open-minded.

I hate being so nostalgic about the Sixties.

I never set out to be a photographer.

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.

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.

I never cared for fashion much, amusing little seams and witty little pleats: it was the girls I liked.
