At the same time as the UK Vogue one, I did a shoot that took about 40 days of friends and people I admired in Paris, for French Vogue. This is how I met Maria Schneider in June and which began our friendship.

I never thought heroin was very chic.

One of the major things I really want to work on now is female rage because that's not dealt with at all - and I have a lot of it.

I start to paint my walls. And I'm heavily influenced by films.

[I influenced by ]the work of early [Michelangelo] Antonioni, Orson Welles and [Carlo] Pasolini, I love [Nicolas Jack] Roeg's film "Performance".

My work is received more intelligently in Europe.

I also photographed Maggie Cheung - but these didn't develop into a friendship either.
