Tea is a huge part of my life.
people trying
Sometimes photographing people is like pulling teeth, trying to get some sort of personality.
affect hospitals people time types
People tell you you're having chemotherapy, but there are different types of chemotherapy, and you don't know which one you're going to get and how it's going to affect you. The people in the hospitals don't always have time to help you understand it.

I'd like to make something about someone who hasn't existed so that I don't have to tread so carefully and can feel a little bit more creative freedom.
dad life london moved mum split suddenly upped urban
Mum and Dad split up when I was nine. We upped and moved from London to Sussex, and suddenly I went from an urban life to nothing in the countryside - with a new father and new life.

believe chanel essence experience firmly inhabit rooted second shooting spirit truly
Shooting at Coco Chanel's apartment was an unexpectedly absorbing experience. The essence of Chanel is firmly rooted there in all of her possessions, and I truly believe that her spirit and soul still inhabit the second floor.
seen
I think it was Elisabeth Shue who said that if you start a movie with a woman seen through a man's eyes, that woman is objectified by him throughout.
art saved
I think I was lucky I got into art college. That's what saved me.

I think I just love films where men have complete breakdowns.

I love showing my scar on my tummy - it is shaped like a question mark.

I keep seeing in the papers that I am good friends with Samantha Cameron. I've never met her in my life.
opportunity
I get over-excited by every opportunity that comes my way. I end up doing too much.
art artist became interest towards
I feel like I became an artist by default. I went to art college, but my interest was always more towards film than painting or sculpture.
