I wasn't trying to be a role model for anybody. I don't think that you can.

I've never experienced chronic poverty, but I know what it's like to live on £3 a week.

The world is a heartbreaking place, without any question.

For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.

At times, I've been so absolutely terrified of what I was about to do, whether it was public speaking or performance. Whatever it was, sometimes it had me really, really shaking in my shoes, and I decided that I was going to do it no matter what. And, of course, the critic is there, and afterwards, there's this, "Was it good enough? Was it really all I wanted to say?"

We're not interested to know the real heroes. We're really more interested in the villains, actually, and they seem to thrive, and it continues to be business as usual.

Fundamentally, we are all in the same place: we're born, we live, and we're going to die. In between, we'll have joy and we'll have sadness.
