five great six somebody understood wives
All my ex-girlfriends or wives are all kind of great friends and I've never understood somebody who can live with somebody for five or six years and then not like them.
life
The earth has a life of its own.
My father was a tailor, my mother a machinist.
My exploits are nothing now to the average person.
good
If something becomes old-fashioned, it was no good to start with. Think about it. Michelangelo is not old-fashioned.
I've always tried to do pictures that don't date.
definitive involved lack mad movies people
I'm not mad about movies, there are too many people involved in the making of them, and they lack a definitive creative focus.
people work
I suppose because my work was so popular people didn't really look at it.
love people privilege time
I love people for giving me their time. It's a privilege - I make the most of it.
I guess I'm the last of the Cockneys.
I don't think it matters where I came from any more.
bit love term
I don't really like the term 'artist.' I'm not sure what it means. It's a bit like 'love.'
time
I could develop a picture by the time I was 12.
Everyone gets old - there's nothing you can do about it.
