Everyone thinks these are self-portraits but they aren't meant to be. I just use myself as a model because I know I can push myself to extremes, make each shot as ugly or goofy or silly as possible.

I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I'm doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.

One time I can stand fiddling in front of the mirror for an hour and another time I think: well hack, this is just the best it can get. Only if I have to go to work I really try to look fantastic.

I paint and sculpt to get a grip on reality... to protect myself.

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

When I was modelling, I spent half my life staring at thousands of perfect reflections. It got to a stage where I was losing all sense of reality - so after I quit modelling, I took all the mirrors out of my house.

I've always been a bit of a poser. I was chucked out of ballet lessons for looking in the mirror.

When I draw my caricature self-portrait, I always do a huge smile.

I do myself up kind of like a doll. I have a doll collection and I look at their outfits and kind of imitate them.
