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.

Plastic surgery is distressingly popular and I feel that the fashion industry has killed tens of thousands of women over the years from anorexia.

I always thought if I photographed anyone or anything enough, I would never lose the person, I would never lose the memory, I would never lose the place. But the pictures show me how much I've lost.

I don't think I am going to do pictures which are anything like Renaissance art.

My work is mostly about memory. It is very important to me that everybody that I have been close to in my life I make photographs of them.

I never courted that but it's nice when it's people you respect and they respect your work. It's thrilling.

You know it's said that you make your own face. So you don't really have a face until you are 30 or your mid-20s. When you are starting to grow up and show your character in your face.
