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

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

If I say something honestly, generally, I am being completely honest and don't tell me I am lying. It drives me crazy to be told I set up my pictures. How does it benefit me to lie? I guess they are afraid to believe it and are afraid to look at it.

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

One of the things I love so much about Valerie [Belin] is that she inhabits her body so completely. She has no self-consciousness about having stretch marks or having given birth. It's just so amazing that she has nothing to hide. Whereas all these other women see every little - supposed - imperfection - anything irregular is seen as an imperfection.

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

My work is received more intelligently in Europe.
