Certainly, people feel awkward when they have their photograph taken. They want to see it, but they don't want to see it.

Of course I don't like the fact that my wife goes to the supermarket and there are photographers. But I realise that the press attention is the same wherever you go.

I still like to walk around and take photographs, but it's hard to do that if a lot of people are looking at you.

I feel like I need to start wearing a T-shirt saying 'This is not a photo opportunity'. People are so lovely but you do find that when you're out you spend 40% of your time posing for photographs.

People don't really understand, but having people stare, and point, and take pictures, even if it is in a positive framework, is quite isolating; there's no two ways about it. You feel a little bit, you know, freakish.

It took me a long time to get comfortable with the idea of being photographed by a moving or still camera.

I've never felt massively satisfied from standing there while someone takes my photograph. It's never given me a thrill.

There are photographers who don't really engage with their subject. It's a really unfortunate phrase, but they take their photo and they leave with it. It works but I think it ultimately limits how profound the work can be.

I just don't understand how people can get so caught up in having their picture taken.

It's nice to always make an effort when you get photographed.
