I toyed with the notion of being an actor, and am so glad that this whim did not go any further.

When I fly British Airways, I can't help but read the free Daily Mail, which makes me glad I am leaving the country.

I am away so much, so I rarely see live TV, but I use iPlayer to catch programmes.

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.

If there is any jarring at all in my photographs, it's because we are so used to ingesting pictures of everywhere looking beautiful.

I pride myself in being an aficionado of the British seaside. Throughout my career, I have visited and worked in many of the famous British resorts, from Great Yarmouth to Largs.
