David Bailey
Actors are hard to photograph because they never want to reveal who they are. You don't know if you're getting a character from a Chekhov play or a Polanski film. It depends what mood they're in.
David Bailey
The only thing they can't teach you at art school is art.
David Bailey
I am not responsible for all the journalists in the past that have told lies.
