I believe in a visual language that should be as strong as the written word.

For me, it's easier to like more things than to dislike them; I'm not a critic in that sense. I find it easier to like more, to be more open and enjoy more things, which has given me more opportunities.

I've never wanted to be part of an inner circle of any scene. I've always been an outsider looking to question and subvert.

I went to art high school and thought I'd be a painter. Unfortunately I didn't finish high school, but that's always been part of my work.

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

I had this duality growing up with my dad being a strict Catholic and his brother being a priest and my mother finding God in nature, so I've taken a little from both [traditions].

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