The only time this happened to me before was in Jil Sander in Berlin where they said, "We have nothing that will fit you." I said, "Yes, you do." And I found something great.

The only time I did that was in '88 when I first came out of detox, I spent every day doing self-portraits to fit back into my own skin.
