Genius And Taste Don't Go Together.

I Used To Hate Doing Color. I Hated Transparency Film. The Way I Did Color Was By Not Wanting To Know What Kind Of Film Was In My Camera.

I Find Myself, After All These Years, With A Built-in Safety-brake That Stops Me From Doing Certain Things. And One Of The Reasons Why I Want To Try So Called Hard Pornography - I Don't Even Know Whether It's Hard Enough - Is To See Whether I Will Be Able To Overcome This. Because If There Is One Thing I Hate, It's Good Taste, To Me It's A Dirty Word.

They Often Ask Me To Shoot For Them. But I Say No. I Think An Old Guy Like Me Ought Not Take Pages Away From Young Photographers Who Need The Exposure.

Look, I'm Not An Intellectual - I Just Take Pictures.

Technically, I Have Not Changed Very Much. Ask My Assistants. They'll Tell You, I Am The Easiest Photographer To Work With. I Don't Have Heavy Equipment. I Work Out Of One Bag.
