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.

I wish I could be elegant.

If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up.

When I have sex with someone I forget who I am. For a minute I even forget I'm human. It's the same thing when I'm behind a camera. I forget I exist.

I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn’t. And that’s a tough place to be because you’re never satisfied.

To make pictures big is to make them more powerful.

I am selfish, but that's an attribute that all artists possess.
