Take pictures all the time. Don't worry if you take a bad photograph; you learn more by taking a bad picture than a good one. If you don't like it, study it and figure out why you don't like it. You'll learn from your mistake.

My stepfather gave me a Kodak camera when I was 17 years old. I started working at a local photo store in Le Havre, France, taking passport pictures and photographing weddings.

Photography is like a moment, an instant. You need a half-second to get the photo. So it's good to capture people when they are themselves.

With Dior Haute Couture, the dream is already there.

Sex doesn't sell as well as we thought. If we would not sell the Van Gogh and Co., it would be a very serious problem.

I don't take the camera out with me. My eyes are the camera for me every day.

My dog, Puffy. The dog is the perfect portrait subject. He doesn't pose. He isn't aware of the camera.
