I became the toast of London. A lot of people I met came from these really decadent families where the married men were gay and no one thought anything about it.

If I am at a party, I want to be at the party. Too many photographers use the camera to avoid participating in things. They become professional observers.

You're never going to get anywhere in life if you don't live up to your obligations.

If I had been born one or two hundred years ago, I might have been a sculptor, but photography is a very quick way to see, to make sculpture.

Whether it's an orgy or a cocktail party, I know how to do it.

I never liked photography. Not for the sake of photography. I like the object. I like the photographs when you hold them in your hand.

My lifestyle is bizarre, but the only thing you need to know is where the darkroom is.
