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.

I won't show a picture where a person doesn't look beautiful.

I have very healthy strong relationships with women.

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.

The things that I look at include Renaissance art. I'm obsessed with churches and paintings of saints.

[John] Cassavetes, "Killing of a Chinese Booker", "Opening Night" are my favourites.

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