I've always been a bit flip.

I don't feel very optimistic in London.

I was surrounded by strong women so it had never even occurred to me that women were anything other than equal to men.

I never cared for fashion much, amusing little seams and witty little pleats: it was the girls I liked.

I left school on my 15th birthday.

You can't really copy what I do because I don't do anything.

I didn't know a time when there wasn't a war because I spent all my time from the age of two or three to eight in a coal cellar really.
