I don't feel like a fashion person. I don't even have a little earring somewhere.

I would love to photograph Angelina Jolie.

I was never so attracted to the glamorous world. That never impressed me.

People often say, 'You don't go to fashion shows? What kind of photographer are you? What the hell is the wrong with you, man?' But that's what I need in order to be who I am.

Duisburg was the worst industrial, depressive part of Germany. But it was great. We had nothing, but I didn't miss nothing so that was fine.

I don't retouch anything.

With the indiscriminate touching-up of photos, we've grown accustomed to seeing personalities drained of all their humanity, yet we consider them as real.

I have been meditating for 40 years. It makes it a bit easier to know who you are.

Fashion is about change, don't you think?

In 1990, when they asked me to shoot a cover for 'British Vogue' to convey my personal vision of a woman, I explained that I couldn't just photograph one single girl, because what I was looking for was a new purpose, and new feminine determination.
