I like Stella [McCartney] a lot - she's a very open and warm person. I don't particularly want to know about her background.

I usually work really instinctively and it's afterwards that I think about what it means. I don't know consciously that I have these themes that run through my work.

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

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 like it [Rotterdam] much better than Amsterdam which is too much like a postcard. It's too cute for me. Rotterdam is more real, it's got a stomach.

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

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.
