I always loved aesthetics. Not particularly fashion, but an idea of beauty.

Of course it would depend on the project, but I don't think I could ever separate myself from my aesthetic.

So much of my aesthetic was formed by my dad.

I do not create a fashionable aesthetic... I create a style based on life.

The reason I did fashion was it was the only way to get paid to do anything creative. You couldn't support yourself as an 'artist' - I hate that word. The only way you could be 'arty' was as a fashion photographer, because it still had a certain amount of integrity involved.

I think I was always obsessed with esthetics.

It's just my aesthetic: to want to feel a bit undone, effortless but not without style.

I just wanted to be an artist. I didn't care how or what; I just wanted to express my artistic integrity, and I wanted the world to have a vision of what I was seeing in my mind.
