Prostitutes go to heaven. It's their clients that go to hell.

As you are working on ideas, you are in a bubble, working on your images. What's important to me in my work, I like this idea of communicating through a piece of art so works don't have to be exchanged. They're okay and they're helpful but most importantly that the image will convey something in my mind that I was trying to communicate and then you have that connection.

I never want people to be repulsed with my pictures; I always want to attract people.

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'm not condemning the Catholic Church - it's too big, it's like condemning a nation and that would be prejudiced.

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.

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