“I don't care what other people think. I hate conforming, that you have...” — Juergen Teller Quote

I don't care what other people think. I hate conforming, that you have to wear this to a business meeting or that to a dinner. I've never worked that way.

Quite frankly, if I didn't enjoy the fashion industry, then I wouldn't continue to do it.

Most fashion photography is done by gay people finding women sexy - which is sort of not sexy at all, at least to a heterosexual man.

My childhood was very beautiful in some ways and very disturbing in others.

My father never really encouraged me or even took an interest after I walked away from the family business. No one did except my mother and my grandfather. To be truthful, I cannot remember one meaningful conversation I had with my father.

I lived with my maternal grandparents, so I rarely saw my mother during the day; at one time she had three different jobs and I would only see her at dinner time.

I'll just be sitting down having dinner with girlfriends or something and people come up and ruin the dinner.

'Dance Dance Revolution.' That's a lot of fun when you're having a dinner party and you just want to be a little silly.

When I was younger, I'd be like 'Would you like to go to dinner' and the girl would be like 'Meh.' But then I was like 'Do you want to go with me for a drink somewhere?' and she'd be like 'Okay.'

When I was growing up, my mother worked, and in the evenings, the whole family would sit around the dinner table and recount the day.
