DAVID LACHAPELLE ON WARHOL AND INTERVIEW MAGAZINE

«I think gay people have different eyes. I see beauty in everything, be it a man's body or a woman's body. Or even a McDonald's....When I showed Andy my photographs, he said they were beautiful. I learned he said that about everything.. But there was a trickle -down effect at Interview: Andy wanted everything in the magazine to be beautiful and that was conveyed by Marc Balet to me. That philosophy has really affected my work. I still want everything to look beautiful, even if it's wild»
