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

My work is about making candy for the eyes. It's about grabbing your attention.

Michael [Jackson] had paintings of himself at Neverland depicting himself as a knight and surrounded by cherubs and angels. People might think he's an egomaniac, but he's not. It's because the world turned against him.

I love fashion, beauty, glamour. It's the mark of civilisation.

If you watch Michael Jackson [1992] concerts from Budapest and compare it to a Madonna concert of today, you'll see such uplifting beauty and a message that you won't see in any other artist of our time.

I like thinking about the fragility of the human flesh and our bodies - our decay and eventual death.

I never wanted to be famous. I always wanted to take famous photographs.
