"monocle - that just drove me sexually insane...I adore girls with monocle... There's one photograph of Paloma Picasso taken in late 1970s or early '80s in Nice. I hauled out that monocle and said, >>Quick, Paloma, put this in your eye<<. She put it in her eye and I took a quick picture. It really had nothing to do with Paloma, but I've always loved that picture... Paloma always hated the picture and begged me not to use it. I wanted it to be a cover of the first Helmut Newton Illustrated but I couldn't do that to her."

"Some people's photography is an art. Mine is not. If they happed to be exhibited in a gallery or a museum, that's fine. But that's not why I do them. I'm a gun for hire."
H. Newton, Newsweek, Feb 2, 2004.
