“We are at Jesus' disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that's all right, everything is all right.

“Fashion is the most intense expression of the phenomenon of neomania, which has grown ever since the birth of capitalism. Neomania assumes that purchasing the new is the same as acquiring value...

“People are going to think what they want to think. I let them. You canâ€™t control perception. Itâ€™s a losing game so I donâ€™t play. I let them lose; lose themselves in their own fantasies of what they want me to be. A rebel, an angel, a romantic, a heart breaker, a boy, a man. Perhaps I am all of those things. Perhaps Iâ€™m none. But what I am is for me to find out, not to be dictated to me. Itâ€™s for me to know.”
