Being trendy is dangerous. I've never been trendy, which is why I've never really fallen out of favour.

Every man who is high up loves to think that he has done it all himself; and the wife smiles, and lets it go at that.

Everyone gets old - there's nothing you can do about it.

Fortunately I didn't get educated because if I'd got educated I'd be an educated fool now.

I always look at people and think how I would cast them.

I am mad about my wife.

I am not responsible for all the journalists in the past that have told lies.

I could develop a picture by the time I was 12.

I did painting before I did photography.

I didn't know a time when there wasn't a war because I spent all my time from the age of two or three to eight in a coal cellar really.

I didn't know I was going to live for 50 years. It has come as a shock.

I didn't try and do fashion pictures. I tried to do portraits of girls wearing dresses.

I don't do proud.

I don't feel very optimistic in London.

I don't like any sport except boxing and bull fighting.

I don't think global warming is to do with us, I think it's a natural circle. I don't think a few Ferraris make that much difference.

I don't think it matters where I came from any more.

I don't think my work does reflect my nationality - I don't like the idea of nationalism.

I guess I'm the last of the Cockneys.

I had a terrible time with feminists in the Seventies. They hated me, those women. I think they hated everything.
