I think it's very important what young people see in pictures or on TV or in magazines. Drugs, violence, anorexia. All of the things that I absolutely do not reference in my photos.
People want to know everything, and so they put you in the limelight. Sometimes, I am not down to earth, and I think I am flying away from the outer realms of reality.
People who can't be alone have a problem. Loneliness is a luxury for people like me.
Yes, some people say to me you're too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that.
There are not too many people with an opinion I care for.
Fashion is what people wear not only what you see on the Runway
I care more about the people than about the company. That's why I don't want to own it. I don't want to run a business. People do it better than I do.
I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So, as far as I'm concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know, I don't care because I knew how it was.
You cannot be creative with people around you.
I have a guest house because I don't want people in my home.
I'm surrounded by young and beautiful people. I hate looking at ugliness.
I'm rather pro-prostitution, I admire people who do it. It can't be much fun. Thank goodness for it. People need relief or they become murderers.
