I shot for French and British Vogue. The British Vogue one featured clothes by Chloe and was shot at Highgate and the John Soane Museum. It came out much better in my opinion. I only did one day and was working with my own make-up and hair people and a model who I've known for years.

My life is more important. At this point in my life I'm alone. I don't think about it a lot.

I have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.

The idea that a fashion photograph could make you cry doesn't happen. And I'm proud to say that my slideshows can make people cry.

I'm very flattered when people I respect like my work. It's like a dream of a little kid when somebody I idolised likes my work.

I'm very influenced by a lot of things, but my chief influence is my friends and what I see and what I feel and my own experiences and memory.

In Paris now, when I walk into stores and the shopgirls literally say to me every time, "We don't have anything in your size".
