In the fashion world, I was always an outsider, but I made people look good, so I had a career.

The tools I learned photographing celebrities, now I want to use them to sell ideas.

What's shocking is cruelty and torture, and that's become our entertainment. Kids can play violent video games, but God forbid they look at a naked woman. That's pornography, that's perverse. No!

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.

There's nothing that symbolizes loss or grief more than a mother losing a child.
