I was able to work with two heads. If anything, doing ads and other commercial work were at least exercises in discipline.

Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.

It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.

Actually, the animal pictures came about in a funny way.

I don't think anything happens without the press, one way or the other. I think it's all done for it. You saw it start, really, with Martin Luther King in Birmingham. He did the bus thing. And I don't think anything that followed would have happened if the press hadn't paid attention.

The museums want large crowds coming to the shows - it's the same thing. It's hype. Absolutely. But there's nothing evil about it.

Well, it was strange, because the phone rang and a teaching job turned up that sounded interesting. And I always did my own work. The Animals and a lot of Public Relations were done while I was doing commercial work.
