The only thing they can't teach you at art school is art.
David Bailey
I've been used by women all my life, fortunately.
David Bailey
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.
David Bailey
Sometimes I still can't believe my luck.
David Bailey
I don't think my work does reflect my nationality - I don't like the idea of nationalism.
David Bailey
I don't think global warming is to do with us, I think it's a natural circle. I don't think a few Ferraris make that much difference.
David Bailey
I hate men who are in touch with their feminine side.

David Bailey
The reason I did fashion was it was the only way to get paid to do anything creative. You couldn't support yourself as an 'artist' - I hate that word. The only way you could be 'arty' was as a fashion photographer, because it still had a certain amount of integrity involved.
David Bailey
I always go for simplicity.
David Bailey
To get rich, you have to be making money while you're asleep.
David Bailey
I never cared for fashion much, amusing little seams and witty little pleats: it was the girls I liked.
David Bailey
You have to kind of be invisible when you photograph children, so you use a longer lens.
David Bailey
In '73 I photographed the cannibals in New Guinea. They treated me OK but they didn't make you feel relaxed... I managed to escape unscathed though, I'm pretty good at that.
