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

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 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.

As a non-Catholic, and since I was a child, I have been obsessed with the ritual and the beauty of Catholic art. I look at Renaissance art all the time.

I wasn't there [in U.S] when the city was bombed but it seems to have changed my friends.

I never read theory. I think that was to my benefit.

If I do continue to do fashion, I would want to radicalise it.
