I wanted it to provide an escape route, I wanted to make pictures that were fantastic and took you into another world, one that was brighter. I started off with this idea.

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

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

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!

I like the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas more than the actual one.

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

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.
