"Tom Ford has admitted that he lusts after beautiful women, but only as &amp;#039;objects&amp;#039;. The gay fashion designer and director of A Single Man suggested to artist John Currin for Interview Magazine that homosexual men make better designers because they do not generally have sexual desire for women. Ford said: &amp;quot;I lust after beautiful women. First of all, I love women. But I lust after beautiful women in the way that I lust after a beautiful piece of sculpture - this will probably get me in trouble - or a beautiful car. &amp;quot;I believe everyone&amp;#039;s on a sliding scale of sexuality. There are moments where I am sexually attracted to women. But it doesn&amp;#039;t overpower my first impulse; my lust for them is the same as my lust for beauty in all things. It&amp;#039;s not like I ever think, &amp;#039;Oh, my God, I&amp;#039;ve got to spread her legs and f**k her&amp;#039;.&amp;quot;  When it was suggested that it is considered oppressive when men &amp;#039;isolate and objectify&amp;#039; women for art, Ford said: &amp;quot;I think that&amp;#039;s wrong. I&amp;#039;m an equal-opportunity objectifier. I think it&amp;#039;s the exact same thing. I&amp;#039;m sorry, I don&amp;#039;t understand why our culture both worships and objectifies beauty, and then slams those of us who participate in it. &amp;quot;Because I make that detachment, I&amp;#039;m capable of objectifying a beautiful woman, but that doesn&amp;#039;t demean her in any way. She&amp;#039;s beautiful because she&amp;#039;s a creature who exists physically, in the physical world, who happens to be in a moment of prime.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Tom Ford reveals &amp;#039;A Single Man&amp;#039; follow-up "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
