I have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.

The thing that drives me most crazy in the world is not to be believed.

I never, never photograph someone getting high to sell clothes. I was called, at some point, the person responsible for "heroin chic". I didn't have anything to do with "heroin chic".

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.

I think the wrong things are kept private

That's where I got the idea to paint the walls of the gallery with varied colours [at the Whitechapel show]. I tried to figure out how all these Renaissance paintings manage to work together.

It's a hideous feeling to go round shopping and even feel like you are a freak.
