I'm very influenced by a lot of things, but my chief influence is my friends and what I see and what I feel and my own experiences and memory.

I know somewhat about Kate [Moss who featured in the Vogue spread]. I always thought that Kate's look had come from my old friend Siobhan Liddell and some of her friends because they dressed like that about ten years ago. Unconsciously, and right after that, that whole look sort of came out.

I think the wrong things are kept private

I don't think I am going to do pictures which are anything like Renaissance art.

Usually people just do their own work. But I want to deal with the place and what it means to show in a mental hospital.

I'm very much interested in water and women in water. I've been photographing that for years although I didn't really know it at the time.

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