More quotes by David Bailey
I was dyslexic, so I was put in the silly class at school.
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
You have to kind of be invisible when you photograph children, so you use a longer lens.
David Bailey
A positive attitude can really make dreams come true - it did for me.
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

David Bailey
It's only a few nutcases who do art for themselves, like Van Gogh.
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
Being dyslexic, I was told that I was an idiot all the time.
David Bailey
The best advice I ever got was that knowledge is power and to keep reading.
David Bailey
The only thing they can't teach you at art school is art.
David Bailey
I've always been a bit flip.
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.
David Bailey
I am not responsible for all the journalists in the past that have told lies.
