I was surrounded by strong women so it had never even occurred to me that women were anything other than equal to men. ”

Being handsome wasn't much of a burden. It worked for me. ”

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

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

I never set out to be a photographer. ”

I hate being so nostalgic about the Sixties. ”

I never cared for fashion much, amusing little seams and witty little pleats: it was the girls I liked. ”

Rockers are the nicest people to photograph. They have no inhibitions. ”

I love people for giving me their time. It's a privilege - I make the most of it. ”

I don't really like the term 'artist.' I'm not sure what it means. It's a bit like 'love.' ”
