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.

I am very attracted by bad taste-it is a lot more exciting than that supposed good taste which is nothing more than a standardized way of looking at things.

The desire to discover, the desire to move, to capture the flavor, three concepts that describe the art of photography.

Photography is 10% inspiration and 90% moving furniture.

I hate good taste. It's the worst thing that can happen to a creative person.

It's that I don't like white paper backgrounds. A woman does not live in front of white paper. She lives on the street, in a motor car, in a hotel room.

My women are always victorious.

My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain.

There are two dirty words in photography, one is art, the other is good taste

Look, I'm not an intellectual - I just take pictures.

...what I try to do is a good bad picture. I work it out very carefully, and then I do something that looks as if it went wrong.

Telling is not selling; never make a statement if you can phrase it in the form of a question.

People overestimate what they can accomplish in the near term and underestimate what they can accomplish in the long term.

I'm not insane, sir. I have a finely calibrated sense of acceptable risk.

People always say you can't win if you don't play

Why do you play a game? I play a game to see how good we can be.

For all you know, the way I act could very well be an act. Or maybe it isn't. I could be the most dangerous, most vicious one of the bunch, because no one takes me seriously!

Consciously or unconsciously, we are all striving for perfection. Every being must attain to it.

I think confidence will come back.

Anger is blood, poured and perplexed into froth; but malice is the wisdom of our wrath.
