"I don't know if it's a movement, but the only thing new that's happening is that I think music and art and video and fashion are all kind of thrown into one big ball that's on television, and people see that all the time - you see a fusion of all those things."

"That's how I taught myself how to draw - tracing the ads and petting new clothes on the models."

"I would just sketch everything that was being made for the collections."

"I just really wanted to do art, except when I was taking those photographs of people I would make the clothes that I would photograph them in so I could control the whole thing."

"When I went to college, I wasn't interested in fashion anymore - I was interested in art."

"I finished high school there and then I went to Rhode Island School of Design."

"I watched television a little, but I mostly just drew and read magazines."

"Maybe if they all could he combined - art, rock and fashion. Those were always my favorite things."

"But after the time there I'd had it with fashion again, so I left to go to architecture school in a summer course at Harvard, which didn't last very long."

"I got to the point where I was sick of fashion again, like I was at the end of high school."

"Then I moved down to the Bowery to this building where Debbie Harry lived. It was there that I started combining some clothes for her and continued doing the art and photography."

"I grew up in Columbus, Indiana, a kind of industrial and farmland place."

"The photograph, the clothes, the sets - this was about 1974, and I started hanging out with my friend Richard Sold, who was playing in a band with Patti Smith."
