I love fashion, beauty, glamour. It's the mark of civilisation.
From David LaChapelle
We use fashion for status and to beautify and there's nothing wrong with that, but when it becomes completely unbalanced, then you're living a decadent life. And when that happens on a global scale, you're living in a decadent world.
There's nothing that symbolizes loss or grief more than a mother losing a child.
I like thinking about the fragility of the human flesh and our bodies - our decay and eventual death.
My mother taught me a lot about respect for all living things - for plants and animals. I am a vegetarian. I was brought up that way.
As you get older, you think about things differently from when you do in your twenties, when you think you'll live forever.
I never want people to be repulsed with my pictures; I always want to attract people.
Just as Renaissance artists provided narratives for the era they lived in, so do I. I'm always looking beyond the surface. I've done that ever since I first picked up a camera.
I've never wanted to be part of an inner circle of any scene. I've always been an outsider looking to question and subvert.
With mania, is it dangerous to ride that euphoric feeling. You feel very animated and creative; I would fill journals with drawings. It feels good and you want it to last, but it can lead to being delusional. The delusions can be as real as you thinking you can fly.
