My life there[in New York] was almost entirely about gay men for 30 years.
It's so rare to see a woman's sexuality, real female sexuality, either in the shows or in the clothes.
I also photographed Maggie Cheung - but these didn't develop into a friendship either.
I did [heroin] maybe when I was 18 but I got over that pretty quickly.
Plastic surgery is distressingly popular and I feel that the fashion industry has killed tens of thousands of women over the years from anorexia.
In '83 I started travelling round Europe with my slide show. It wasn't until I moved to Europe and got accepted in a big way in Berlin in the '90s that I got acceptance by the big art world in New York. I didn't really get to be known, or in the market, til '93 in New York.
