One of my assistants, a British man, says I should find a platform for [cosmetic industry]. Meanwhile I wear make-up.

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

I had my first museum showing of my slide show in Rotterdam, in 1983. I love Rotterdam. I love harbour cities in general.

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

For me it is not a detachment to take a picture. It's a way of touching somebody - it's a caress… I think that you can actually give people access to their own soul.

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.
