I stand naked when I draw. God holds my hand and we sing together.

When I work, and in my art, I hold hands with God.

I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn’t. And that’s a tough place to be because you’re never satisfied.

I became the toast of London. A lot of people I met came from these really decadent families where the married men were gay and no one thought anything about it.

People don't have time to wait for somebody to paint their portraits anymore. The money is in photography.

I don't believe in dogmas and theologies. I just believe in being a good person.

I should try to get some sleep as one doesn't know what tomorrow may bring.
