My dad was in the Korean War. He got shot seven times. He had seven bullet holes in him. And out of his troop of 35 guys, he was one of nine guys that came back. And when he came back from that he had seven kids in seven years.

I've been attracted to Kate Moss since I was a teenager.

I'm always interested in an atmosphere where dreams and reality mingle on equal terms.

I'm not going to hide behind anything.

I have absolutely no interest in creating depressing images.

I was growing up in the suburbs; I was one of eight kids. So I did have a community when I was younger, but all of my brothers and sisters were older.

I couldn't wait to come to New York to reinvent myself.
