I think the ordinary is a very under-exploited aspect of our lives because it is so familiar.

I avoid Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, and if I need to communicate with someone, I email direct.

I am not a huge follower of music and tend to like one CD and play it to death, usually when I am washing up.

Part of the role of photography is to exaggerate, and that is an aspect that I have to puncture. I do that by showing the world as I really find it.

I am not as cross about Thatcher now as I was in the 80s. Begrudgingly, I can see that some of her policies helped modernise Britain.

With photography, I like to create a fiction out of reality. I try and do this by taking society's natural prejudice and giving this a twist.

Filming is always a challenge because I'm not used to it. But I approach it head-on. I'm not technically brilliant, but it's the spirit that counts.
