I just thought it was magic that you could stick a bit of paper in some coffee-type liquid and a picture comes out.
Quote by -David Bailey
The trouble with people like Tony Blair is they get confused, they think intelligence is education when they're two different things.
Quote by -David Bailey
It always amazes me when people ask you to do something and then tell you how to do it.
Quote by -David Bailey
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.
Quote by -David Bailey
I don't really like the term 'artist.' I'm not sure what it means. It's a bit like 'love.'
Quote by -David Bailey
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.
Quote by -David Bailey
It's not about composition. It's the way you feel about how your objects should relate to each other. I've got lots of African statues and things, and the cleaner arranges them like soldiers, which drives me mad. So I have to rearrange them, and I must drive her mad, because I'm doing anarchy and she's doing military manoeuvres.
Quote by -David Bailey
The first half of the 20th century belongs to Picasso, and the second half is about photography. They said digital would kill photography because everyone can do it, but they said that about the box brownie in 1885 when it came out. It makes photography interesting because everyone thinks they can take a picture.
Quote by -David Bailey
I won't do advertising if they bring a layout and say, 'This is what we want to do,' because anybody can do that; it's not interesting. They've got digital and the computer; it's not taking pictures, it's not magic - it's a picture done by committee.
Quote by -David Bailey
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.
Quote by -David Bailey
Instead of putting someone in prison for being a hooligan, give him a choice. He may have beaten someone up and he's got eight years, but tell him you can do eight years inside or spend five years in the Army. Put him in the Parachute Regiment, they'd soon sort him out.
Quote by -David Bailey
Being trendy is dangerous. I've never been trendy, which is why I've never really fallen out of favour.
Quote by -David Bailey
I don't see the point of photographing trees or rocks because they're there and anyone can photograph them if they're prepared to hang around and wait for the light.
Quote by -David Bailey
Botticelli would have made a very good fashion photographer. He did eight heads instead of seven heads in a body, which is fashion illustration.
Quote by -David Bailey
I never cared for fashion much, amusing little seams and witty little pleats: it was the girls I liked.
Quote by -David Bailey
I was surrounded by strong women so it had never even occurred to me that women were anything other than equal to men.
Quote by -David Bailey
Anybody can be a great photographer if they zoom in enough on what they love.
