I watched television a little, but I mostly just drew and read magazines.

Maybe if they all could he combined - art, rock and fashion. Those were always my favorite things.

I got to the point where I was sick of fashion again, like I was at the end of high school.

The photograph, the clothes, the sets - this was about 1974, and I started hanging out with my friend Richard Sold, who was playing in a band with Patti Smith.

I just really wanted to do art, except when I was taking those photographs of people I would make the clothes that I would photograph them in so I could control the whole thing.

Then I moved down to the Bowery to this building where Debbie Harry lived. It was there that I started combining some clothes for her and continued doing the art and photography.

When I went to college, I wasn't interested in fashion anymore - I was interested in art.
