Bill Cunningham Quotes & Sayings

“The best fashion show is definitely on the street. Always has been, and always will be.”

“I go out every day. When I get depressed at the office, I go out, and as soon as I'm on the street and see people, I feel better. But I never go out with a preconceived idea. I let the street speak to me.”

“I'm not interested in celebrities, with their free dresses. I'm interested in clothes.”

“I don't pay attention to celebrities. I don't photograph them. They don't dress so... interestingly. They have stylists. I prefer real women who have their own taste.”

“The main thing I love about street photography is that you find the answers you don't see at the fashion shows. You find information for readers so they can visualize themselves.”

“I started photographing people on the street during World War II. I used a little box Brownie. Nothing too expensive.”

“The problem is I'm not a good photographer. To be perfectly honest, I'm too shy. Not aggressive enough. Well, I'm not aggressive at all. I just loved to see wonderfully dressed women, and I still do. That's all there is to it.”
