My women are always victorious.

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 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.

Some people's photography is an art. Not mine. Art is a dirty word in photography. All this fine art crap is killing it already.

In times of adversity, our only anchor is hope.

Nothing's hopeless except never trying.

I am going to have to stick to the script. If I muck around with the words it will defeat the object.

The tax code can be used to eliminate the toll booths on the information superhighway.

Now apparently I'm told that every celebrity is expected to honour the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a prime-time reality show.

Sleep is uncanny, I have always found it so, a nightly dress-rehearsal for being dead.

I grew up in a show biz family and, if you wanted to talk at the dinner table, you'd better be prepared to talk about film.

Well, I was lucky enough to be involved in about 19 failures at an early age, so I'm realistic about the success I'm having and how quickly it can go away. What's important is to be smart about it.

We spend precious hours fearing the inevitable. It would be wise to use that time adoring our families, cherishing our friends and living our lives.

I don't know what's on the other side.
