American magazines are becoming very patriotic beyond belief to the point that I can't live there any more.

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

Of course I was wearing make-up, I never went anywhere without red lipstick for 25 years! It was a form of self-preservation for me to continue to wear lipstick even though my face was broken.

The main thing that I want to say is that I don't think women are at their most beautiful in their adolescence or in their early 20s.

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

I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.

Now what I like is that other artists know my work and are interested in me or want to collaborate.
