I am not God. But I can only do my role here on this planet. The role I feel I was given since I was a kid was to be making art and I only wanted to give and I never let money be my God.

I have this idea that you can use glamour and still have it represent something that matters.

Then I got this idea in my head that magazines were like a gallery and if you got your magazine page ripped out and someone stuck it on their refrigerator, then that was a museum – someone’s private museum.

I like the consistency of having people in my life for a long time.

Every culture has beauty and decorations of body. This is not of itself superficial, this is very human. Decorating when it becomes out of balance, when it becomes about the materialism, about how many shoes, how many handbags, how expensive they are, and the status, then it's no longer just about an expression or looking beautiful, that's more about 'I HAVE MONEY, I AM RICH'. It felt out of balance.

I'm part of what I consider the entertainment industry. For my photos to be entertaining, they have to be provocative and new.

I think we're in a post-pornographic time and nothing seems shocking, but everything remains carnal no matter what you do.
