I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.

I have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.

I have no ambivalence about myself wearing make-up or designer clothes but I have an enormous ambivalence about what the fashion world has done to women.

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.

It's so rare to see a woman's sexuality, real female sexuality, either in the shows or in the clothes.

I'm not ashamed of my body and you know everything in the fashion world, if I was vulnerable to it, could drive me crazy. I think it produces so much self-hatred.

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