I am mad about my wife.

I guess I'm the last of the Cockneys.

Every man who is high up loves to think that he has done it all himself; and the wife smiles, and lets it go at that.

I don't think it matters where I came from any more.

I didn't know a time when there wasn't a war because I spent all my time from the age of two or three to eight in a coal cellar really.

I didn't know I was going to live for 50 years. It has come as a shock.

I hate being so nostalgic about the Sixties.

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

I don't feel very optimistic in London.

I did painting before I did photography.
