My life there[in New York] was almost entirely about gay men for 30 years.

Each time I spend with Stella McCartney, I like her better. So I was excited to be asked by her.

Gena Rowlands is fabulous.

I had my first museum showing of my slide show in Rotterdam, in 1983. I love Rotterdam. I love harbour cities in general.

The camera is as much a part of my everyday life as talking or eating or sex.

One of my assistants, a British man, says I should find a platform for [cosmetic industry]. Meanwhile I wear make-up.

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.
