I'm very much interested in water and women in water. I've been photographing that for years although I didn't really know it at the time.

Usually people just do their own work. But I want to deal with the place and what it means to show in a mental hospital.

I remember so many girls when I was growing up who hated the way they looked.

The things that I look at include Renaissance art. I'm obsessed with churches and paintings of saints.

I like it [Rotterdam] much better than Amsterdam which is too much like a postcard. It's too cute for me. Rotterdam is more real, it's got a stomach.

It's so rare to see a woman's sexuality, real female sexuality, either in the shows or in the clothes.

I never courted that but it's nice when it's people you respect and they respect your work. It's thrilling.
