When I started photographing my boyfriend of years ago, Brian, I realised I had no right to photograph other people having sex if I wasn't prepared to take them of myself too

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 usually work really instinctively and it's afterwards that I think about what it means. I don't know consciously that I have these themes that run through my work.

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

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

I've been alone for about eight years and it doesn't bother me.

No place could be less sympathetic to my politics than America.
