I think the wrong things are kept private

I knew from a very early age, that what I saw on tv had nothing to do with real life. So I wanted to make a record of real life. That included having a camera with me at all times.

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.

She has that kind of baby face, a very young face. So I was interested in working with Kate [Moss].

Of course I was wearing make-up, I never went anywhere without red lipstick for 25 years! It was a form of self-preservation for me to continue to wear lipstick even though my face was broken.

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. This happens to me in Paris again and again and again. They don't carry anything over size 40 which is nothing, because I wear a size 42 or 44 but that's hard to find in Paris among the designer clothes. All stores are like that.

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.
