I’d rather be a market maker, market creator than a market taker. You know, to create something new that never existed before versus thinking about share.
Some people think that anti-Semitism didn’t really exist in Germany until 1933. I certainly don’t want to take anything away from Hitler’s guilt, but the anti-Semitism I grew up with predated Hitler. We were called names. We had stones thrown at us. And, yes, this created real sorrow. We defended ourselves as well as we could. Funny thing, the common name we were called was Isaac—the way Muslims are called Ali or Mohammed. They’d call out, Isaac, go back to Palestine, leave our home, go to your place. They threw stones at us and shouted, Go to Palestine. Then in Palestine we were told to leave Palestine—history juxtaposed can be very ironic.
I don’t like the concept of not being allowed to go somewhere just because you’re not part of the gang. In London, it seems like everywhere is a club. I hate the fact you’ve got to be a member of one to get a late-night drink in the center. It’s horrible. And I mean, I’m a member of one there, but I never go to it. There’s something about them that is kind of culty, actually—the idea that we are the in-crowd.
Yeah, and it’s made it considerably more difficult. It’s funny when you look back now, because everybody’s sort of copied those films. They’re so ingrained in the culture now, it’s almost impossible to think there was a point where those things were completely odd and unique.
I was filming T4 at T in the Park one year, and one person kept shouting, "Popworld cunt" at me. That sucked.
I love curating things in general. I love writing. It might actually be the solution to my problem, my dilemma that I don't know what to do. It's because I like to do everything. I like to appease that nature of wanting to dabble in things.
At school, a careers adviser asked me what I wanted to be and I said fashion journalist, so writing for Vogue has provided me with the opportunity to fulfil a dream.
Forgetfulness. I leave valuable possessions scattered around the globe.
Like there's nothing you can do about it.
I don't want to look sexy in photographs. I think it's an easy option. I'm so sick of girls pushing their boobs up in Myspace photographs. I hate the way women want to be "hot" all the time.
