It's the ugly things I notice more, because other people tend to ignore the ugly things.

I think there has to be an underlying sexuality. There has to be a perverseness to the clothes. There is a hidden agenda in the fragility of romance. It's like a Story of O. I am not big on women looking naive. There has to be a sinister aspect, whether it's melancholy of sadomasochist. I think everyone has a deep sexuality, and sometimes it's good to use a little of it-and sometimes a lot of it-like a masquerade.

I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.

Fame should be left to the film stars.

Animals fascinate me because you can find a force, an energy, a fear that also exists in sex.

I use things that people want to hide in their heads. War, religion, sex; things we all think about, but don’t bring to the forefront. But I do and I force them to watch it

Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.
