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

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.

I'm open for possibilities. I'm open for choices. I always welcome new ideas. I'm always eager to learn. I'm never going to close my mind from learning.

Bobbed hair makes women look uniform. They lack individuality.

My mother has been an advocate for me as far as modeling goes.

Never have a picture of a well-adjusted African on the cover of your book, or in it, unless that African has won the Nobel prize.

I like to feel blonde all over.

My court skills may have atrophied.

When something bad is written about me, I find it hurtful. So I choose not to look at it.

Some people are born good-looking. Some have the gift of gab. And some are lucky enough to be born smarter than the rest of us. Whether we like it or not, Mother Nature does not dole these characteristics out evenly.

Great advantage is drawn from knowledge of your adversary and when you know the measure of his intelligence and character you can use it to play on his weakness.

Please remember, no matter what you go through in life, somebody else might have it harder. So just appreciate. I feel like in our world today, we focus on so many things that are completely pointless.

The so-called feminist writers were disgusted with me. I did my thing, and so I guess by feminist standards I'm a feminist. That suits me fine.

Now, of course, the great thing about the solar system as a frontier is that there are no Indians, so you can have all the glory of the myth of the American westward expansion without any of the guilt.

Google demotes search results that don't get clicked on.

If you saw me without concealer, you would see that I have raccoon eyes. And I think my forehead is too small. I am not quintessentially beautiful. I am photogenic, but that's only because I have learned how to make the best of what I've got from the make-up artists I have worked with.

Dreams are what keep us growing. They are what keep us alive. To give up, is to let our dreams die.

Who cares about seeing 10,000 helicopter assaults? That's spectacle.

It's a great privilege and an honour to have the experiences and opportunities that I do to meet extraordinary Australians right across our country who share a great generosity of spirit.

We ask the great masses of India to be patient a short time longer, while the cause of freedom is being fought out, not because we want to delay, but because the hard facts of war make a complete change impossible at the moment.

I have so much fun because I love to meet the women who wear my shoes and meet the clients. That, to me, is the best part - getting to know the faces of the people who actually wear my shoes and getting to have a conversation with them.

People often pulled into Scientology want to address personal problems in their life, and Scientology says we have technology that addresses these kinds of problems. Just focusing on the problems and trying to remedy them can be helpful.

My visit this autumn is an opportunity to continue that rich tradition of visits between Canterbury and Rome.

Jealousy is an inner consciousness of one’s own inferiority. It is a mental cancer.

Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.

I think I was more or less, convinced of that by just the press, the US press. By people who were pressuring you, saying that you gotta beat the Russian's, if you don't win anything else, win the Russian meet and so forth.
