I'm prepared to forget about money if it affects my creativity because, remember, I started off with nothing. And I can do that again.

London's where I was brought up. It's where my heart is and where I get my inspiration.

I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.

I used flowers because they die. My mood was darkly romantic at the time.

There is something sinister, something quite biographical about what I do - but that part is for me. It's my personal business. I think there is a lot of romance, melancholy. There's a sadness to it, but there's romance in sadness. I suppose I am a very melancholy person.

There is no better designer than nature

I oscillate between life and death, happiness and sadness, good and evil.
