Björn Andrésen Quotes

“My career is one of the few that started at the absolute top and then worked its way down. That was lonely.”

Björn Andrésen

Quoted in Matt Seaton, "I feel used," The Guardian, 16 October 2003

“I was just sixteen and Visconti and the team took me to a gay nightclub. Almost all the crew were gay. The waiters at the club made me feel very uncomfortable. They looked at me uncompromisingly as if I was a nice meaty dish. I knew I couldn't react. It would have been social suicide. But it was the first of many such encounters.”

Björn Andrésen
