My work is mostly about memory. It is very important to me that everybody that I have been close to in my life I make photographs of them.

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

For me it is not a detachment to take a picture. It's a way of touching somebody - it's a caress… I think that you can actually give people access to their own soul.

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

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'm not ashamed of my body and you know everything in the fashion world, if I was vulnerable to it, could drive me crazy. I think it produces so much self-hatred.

I did [heroin] maybe when I was 18 but I got over that pretty quickly.
