"I am mad about my wife." — David Bailey

All pictures are unnatural. All pictures are sad because they're about dead people. Paintings you don't think of in a special time or with a specific event. With photos I always think I'm looking at something dead.

I left school on my 15th birthday.

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

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