[I want to] refuting the whole idea that there is only one way to look that women have to be so skinny to look good that they have to be 12 years old and wearing clothes that only women in their 30s and 40s can afford.

I like it [Rotterdam] much better than Amsterdam which is too much like a postcard. It's too cute for me. Rotterdam is more real, it's got a stomach.

I know somewhat about Kate [Moss who featured in the Vogue spread]. I always thought that Kate's look had come from my old friend Siobhan Liddell and some of her friends because they dressed like that about ten years ago. Unconsciously, and right after that, that whole look sort of came out.

The main thing that I want to say is that I don't think women are at their most beautiful in their adolescence or in their early 20s.

When I put my big retrospective together in '96 [for the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York], I saw that there were all these pictures of people inside looking out. All these pictures of women in water and mirrors. I don't know what it means.

I love all the Hollywood women. I saw all the films when I was a teenager. Jack Smith's Flaming Creatures.
