“It was really inspiring to be in West London in the late 1980s and ear...” — Juergen Teller Quote

It was really inspiring to be in West London in the late 1980s and early 1990s, especially in Mark Lebon's Crunch Studios, where I met people like Ray Petri, Neneh Cherry, Judy Blame, Nick and Barry Kamen, Zoe Bedeaux, and Venetia Scott.

For my 50th birthday, my cousin Helmut gave me the most profound, beautiful, and striking present. He made books out of my dad's slide photographs, which were stored and forgotten. Looking at those books made me cry.

I don't understand longer shorts. I don't think they look good on anyone.

I have a way of opening up people and gaining their trust. I think they can see my vulnerability because I'm unafraid to admit if something doesn't quite work.

During 'Somebody Somewhere,' I listened to a lot of '70s rock and Barry Manilow, which was the soundtrack of growing up in my house.

Antiheroes who are sort of honest to themselves are the ones you root for. Like, Barry Seal isn't trying to be anything other than he is. He isn't fooling anybody per se.

When I'm done playing basketball, I want do something bigger. I'm working on my doctorate right now at Barry University in Florida.

But as far as being popular, yeah, I think Dave Barry is really funny.

I don't want to play forever. I want to give everything I can now and then walk away knowing I gave everything. The example I think of is Barry Sanders. He was such a great player, and he left when he was still on top. I want that to be me.
