artist play ideas
In a way, I envy the freedom artists have. Artists can push themselves beyond their limits, in pursuit of their ideas and their vision, even if they are inhabited by demons that can also play tricks on them.
ideas people dancing
Maybe people have no idea how much work is behind a picture. It can seem very effortless but there is a lot of work. It’s exactly like doing ballet. It’s hours and hours but when you go onstage it’s just the pleasure of dancing.
ideas instinct projects
In photo shoots, I rely on instinct. Which is not to say I don't bring ideas to a project or consider it beforehand.
ideas magazines paper
What I hope I would do is something new, but I still love print. I love to touch paper. I'm not sure if I will ever do a magazine again, but I have plenty of ideas on the subject.
art bunch learn
In Japan, you can learn how to make a bunch of flowers. This is an art. Tea ceremony, it's an art.
people
I know that people in fashion and people in general hate to be filmed.
beauty
I'm not bad-looking, but I'm not a beauty, either.
invites love
I love if someone invites me to a restaurant, so I don't know if that's a feminist.
kate might
If Kate Moss hadn't been booked when she was 14, Kate Moss might not exist.
I never think I have to prove something.
peace run women
I want more women to run countries. There'd be more peace on Earth.
arc joan runway
I want to be the Joan of Arc of fashion. I want to be the link between the runway and the real woman.
It's interesting to know how much you are worth.
call maybe
The reason I call my book 'Irreverent' is because there were a lot of pictures that were very irreverent. Maybe I could call my book 'Forgiving' because maybe I made a lot of errors, too.
