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.

I've become really interested in the landscape but not as landscape but more as it relates to mood and how we live and how the outside impacts on the inside. I didn't really look at the outside world during the years I was photographing the Ballad as I was locked inside my house and I lived totally inside.

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

She has that kind of baby face, a very young face. So I was interested in working with Kate [Moss].

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 love all the Hollywood women. I saw all the films when I was a teenager. Jack Smith's "Flaming Creatures".
