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

I recorded that because it happened to me. I wasn't making a point.

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

I like to look at pictures, all kinds. And all those things you absorb come out subconsciously one way or another. You'll be taking photographs and suddenly know that you have resources from having looked at a lot of them before. There is no way you can avoid this. But this kind of subconscious influence is good, and it certainly can work for one. In fact, the more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.

Sell the public flowers... things that they can hang on their walls without being uptight.

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 think that it was a great advantage to go into photography not knowing much about it. Not thinking. I think one of the problems with many photographers today is that they never see for themselves, but just like everybody else.
