The reason I did fashion was it was the only way to get paid to do anything creative. You couldn't support yourself as an 'artist' - I hate that word. The only way you could be 'arty' was as a fashion photographer, because it still had a certain amount of integrity involved.

Being handsome wasn't much of a burden. It worked for me.

When I die I want to go to Vogue.

I left school on my 15th birthday.

I had a terrible time with feminists in the Seventies. They hated me, those women. I think they hated everything.

I never tried to revolutionise photography; I just do what I do and keep my fingers crossed that people will like it.

I was dyslexic, so I was put in the silly class at school.
