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.

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.

Happiness? No, it's not there for me.

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

I wish I could be elegant.

I've never lied. I think I've lived a moral life.

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