My idea was that if I took a picture of somebody and years later, or whenever, they would die and if someone wanted to know who this person was, they could take one of these pictures and it would tell who the person was.

My pictures are about getting as far away from reality as possible. Dreams should be part of our everyday life.

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

There are going to be people doing the talking and people who get talked about, choose, which one do you want to be?

You can't change people's minds, we are not God. We can do our best to do what we do, whatever job we have to bring sort of goodness out there. But we can't change people. As an artist what I can do is to communicate!

Success to me is being a good person, treating people well.

Pictures are an escape. They should be bigger than life. In the same way, celebrities provide an escape from the mundane. They are photographed so we can worship them - so they are worthy of our worship.
