I feed off the fashion world like a parasite.

The fashion world is 10,000 times more superficial than the art world. Fashion people are so much crazier than art-world people. They are constantly trying to leech from the art world, but they will never be able to do what we do.

The fashion world tells me how much they love my work, but they don't hire me very often. Tom Ford did, and he hated it. Naturally, he wanted to Photoshop away the imperfections, which is perfectly understandable. They want their vision.

I don't have a connection to the fashion world at all.

I'd certainly welcome him to the upper echelon of the fashion world. I'm pleased to see it, too.

And lots of other things in the fashion world.
