I know everything should be photographed. It helps me make sense of my existence.

Photography is more about money now but then so are most things.

The Sixties was a time of breaking down class barriers, although I think class still exists today in some areas.

I did painting before I did photography.

All my ex-girlfriends or wives are all kind of great friends and I've never understood somebody who can live with somebody for five or six years and then not like them.

I am mad about my wife.

I like change. There's something Buddhist about it - continuous change is wonderful.

I hate men who are in touch with their feminine side.

Rather than knowing more, I think I've got more open-minded.

I never tried to revolutionise photography; I just do what I do and keep my fingers crossed that people will like it.

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

My friends are all megalomaniacs - from Damien Hirst to Jack Nicholson - all of them.

London changes because of money. It's real estate. If they can build some offices or expensive apartments they will, it's money that changes everything in a city.

In New York, everyone's desperate for success, desperate for money and desperate to be accepted, but in London they're more laid back about things like that.

I guess I'm the last of the Cockneys.

I sort of fall in love with them when I'm photographing them - men and women.

I left school on my 15th birthday.

All I could do at school was paint and draw and that was the only time I ever passed any exam. It was the only thing I ever got right at school.

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

I've never been anti-women.

The reason I did fashion was it was the only way to get paid to do anything creative. You couldn't support yourself as an 'artist' - I hate that word. The only way you could be 'arty' was as a fashion photographer, because it still had a certain amount of integrity involved.

My exploits are nothing now to the average person.

You can't really copy what I do because I don't do anything.

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