I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like.

What I loathe is the multi-national conglomerates who must take responsibility for the degradation and pollution of so much of our landscape with their factory farming and greed.

After Land I wanted to continue exploring the theme but I needed a new challenge so turned to colour. I explored Bradford and produced a series of urban landscapes that I liked, but because Land had made such an impact on the general public my colour work wasn't reviewed.

And in fact I don't believe there is such a thing as a definitive picture of something. The land is a living, breathing thing and light changes its character every second of every day. That's why I love it so much.

Look at lots of exhibitions and books, and don't get hung up on cameras and technical things. Photography is about images.

I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.

It was 1966 by the time I started taking pictures seriously and books, newspapers and magazines of the time were full of great pictures that helped to inspire me.

You can't expect to take a definitive image in half an hour. It takes days, often years.

I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like.

I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process.

Born Berlin 1931, Germany, father a British diplomat, mother an American artist. Educated at various schools all over the world. 1958 Settled down to live in London. 1966 Became interested in photography through photographing my young children. No formal training.

The viewer must bring their own view to a photograph.

But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living.

I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks.

I've been working with the land for most of my life; walking it and photographing it. And I love it to bits.

Maybe black and white is the best medium for landscapes, I don't know.

I'm not faithful to one particular medium, and it's what I try to teach to people who work with me.

I have always loved reading, so was interested in the literary world, and took many literary portraits.

I had been working in colour for ten years or so and looked at digital and liked the possibilities it gave me.

Perhaps I was always intensely curious, but my Columbia education gave me a framework and a perspective to investigate new things - things that could be put into a historical and philosophical lineage.

I have an ElliptiGO. It's a standup bicycle. You don't pedal; you stride on it. It allows me to have the same striding motion as running without the impact.

Chad was in the right spot. He got a little aggressive with the third shot there. He probably didn't want that putt he had there for the par. And you don't want to put it back there where Casey and Sergio did because you have 20 feet of break there.

Men are more unwilling to have their imperfections known than their crimes.

I have to be out there to sell these fights; it's not because I really enjoy getting made up and going to work every day. It's cool, it's an awesome job, but it's still a job. I'm doing it because it helps me make a living and not because I'm so extremely vain that I want to see my face everywhere.

I play football like chess. You have to think a lot and anticipate what could happen after you make your move.

But as the arms-control scholar Thomas Schelling once noted, two things are very expensive in international life: promises when they succeed and threats when they fail.

Galleries needn't be exactly like White Columns purely because times are bad again. But the idea of this special space could - should - help shape what comes next.

The thing that drives most coaches out of coaching in college is they get tired of the grind of recruiting.

Give the Devil his due

Clothes are my drug. I love Camden market - I have so many vintage pieces from there it's unbelievable. Clothes are really important to me, they give me that feeling of happiness. I love being a bit free with it all and not giving myself rules.

It takes great wit and interest and energy to be happy. The pursuit of happiness is a great activity. One must be open and alive. It is the greatest feat man has to accomplish.

Only men of character are trusted.

I've met real female NCIS agents who were smaller than I am. They were very petite.

We want our idols to be dead because it makes death a much less scary place.

If you have a smartphone, you can give content to the world. The days of putting a movie in movie theaters because people don't have a choice is over.

Soldiers don't have a lobby or a political party.

By raising the minimum wage in California, 700,000 people are going to lose their jobs. There are a lot of opportunities for companies to prosper in Florida and compete here, and that's what I'm going after.

People want to share photos with only their friends and loved ones.

It's weird. All I want is to play my guitar when I am on a movie set. But then when I am out on tour, all I want to do is get into a role again. When I am doing one thing, I am missing the other. I guess that's how I know I should keep doing both.

I was plunged into what was known as the debutante social whirl. This was one of the ways fathers justified their own hard work and sacrifices.

I often think about the many remarkable things that my personal computer can do which I never ask it to do. I probably use a small fraction of its capabilities. I often wonder if the same dynamic occurs with our capacity for creativity.

One of the oddities about being Judy Garland's daughter was that everyone treated my mother with such awe that they would never have asked me the normal questions kids get about their moms.

One makes mistakes; that is life. But it is never a mistake to have loved.
