Quotes from Blowup:
Thomas:
She isn't my wife, really. We just have some kids. No, no kids, not even kids. Sometimes, though, it feels as if we had kids. She isn't beautiful, she's... easy to live with. No, she isn't. That's why I don't live with her.
Thomas: I wish I had tons of money... Then I'd be free.
The Blonde: Couldn't you give us just a couple of minutes?
Thomas: Couple of minutes? I haven't even got a couple of minutes to have my appendix out.

Facts about Blowup:
Thomas' Rolls Royce actually belonged to Jimmy Savile and used to be white but was painted black for the film.
Among the homeless men whose photos were taken by the David Hemmings character is Julio Cortázar who wrote the original short story on which Blowup is based.
Michelangelo Antonioni's original choice for the rock band was The Velvet Underground but there were problems over their work permits at the time. The In Crowd (who later became Tomorrow) were then offered the cameo but dropped out at the last minute, and the guitar destroyed by Jeff Beck - probably in emulation of The Who's Pete Townshend - was owned by The In Crowd guitarist Steve Howe.
