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 also photographed Maggie Cheung - but these didn't develop into a friendship either.

I've got really prolific since I moved to Paris where I am living permanently, for the rest of my life, until I find another idea. I have really close women friends here: Valerie, Raymonde, not Joana so much, Maria Schneider, who was always a real heroine of mine who and has now become a close friend.

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

I had my first museum showing of my slide show in Rotterdam, in 1983. I love Rotterdam. I love harbour cities in general.

I think it's obscene that many people are starving to death from anorexia. It's been said many times, it's trite. But when so much evil is going on against, for example the Afghani people, where women are being so oppressed that a woman's body is a battlefield.

I'm very flattered when people I respect like my work. It's like a dream of a little kid when somebody I idolised likes my work.
