"He was a fascinating, crazy, irascible, roguish, likeable, dislikable guy.

Yes, he was all those things." 

Steve McQueen’s personal publicist, David Foster

A little Death Spray Special... "DSC is at the centre of the rapidly developing scene whereby car and bike culture is being re-imagined and made new. Last night saw the opening of Live For Myself Answer to Nobody, the Steve McQueen inspired show that focusses on the creative culture of cars and bikes. The venue is stunningly appropriate, the top floor of the Brewer St car park in London's Soho – and it's the perfect space. There are original, rare prints from Barry Feinstein and Hunter Thompson collaborator Bill Ray; a couple of Bullitt tribute motors that set the jaw agape and some select contribs from the fruitful London custom bike scene in the form of photographs, artwork and full build custom bikes." http://www.influx.co.uk/wordpress/blog/death-spray-custom/#sthash.IhaDDVZJ.3xVzkwo9.dpbs

PICTURES: 'I Live For Myself And I Answer To Nobody'

I'm not sure whether I'm an actor who races or a racer who acts," said Steve McQueen. Gifted with an unfailing taste for fashion and an innate sense of stoic style, McQueen is still regarded worldwide as the undisputed King of Cool - the archetypal anti-hero, an international superstar who began life as a juvenile delinquent and trailblazed his way to the top of counterculture iconography without ever breaking his cool.
