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 think it killed my sister as the times she was living in were so conformist. This is a subject I really want to deal with. I want to start making films about female rage.

The only time I went out was to go to bars at night and all the pictures were taken with a flash because there was no light at all. However now I'm very interested in light.

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

I just get inspired to take a picture by the beauty and vulnerability of my friends.

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.

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