I think the wrong things are kept private

One of the things I love so much about Valerie [Belin] is that she inhabits her body so completely. She has no self-consciousness about having stretch marks or having given birth. It's just so amazing that she has nothing to hide. Whereas all these other women see every little - supposed - imperfection - anything irregular is seen as an imperfection.

My work is received more intelligently in Europe.

I wasn't there [in U.S] when the city was bombed but it seems to have changed my friends.

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.

I like Stella [McCartney] a lot - she's a very open and warm person. I don't particularly want to know about her background.

I've become really interested in the landscape but not as landscape but more as it relates to mood and how we live and how the outside impacts on the inside. I didn't really look at the outside world during the years I was photographing the Ballad as I was locked inside my house and I lived totally inside.
