“Gwen Stefani’s so beautiful; she’s really like a classic, old Hollywood Monroe. I talk about people with star factor and she definitely has it. The room radiates when she walks in – so many young celebrities don’t have that now.”

“We were at the Beverly Hills Hotel where he always shoots. I wanted a classic look and he really loves the whole 1940s/50s, so we made him up to look like a gangster. You can’t go wrong with someone like Jack; he so charming and enigmatic and has no insecurities.”

“Madonna had just brought out a children’s book which also featured animals and I liked the idea of bringing animals into the house. However she wanted to do it based in a library so we merged the two and came up with the mouse.”

“I read the script for Trainspotting and in the film Ewan’s character goes into the toilet for a swim. The whole point of the Trainspotting shoot was that it was very fashiony - there was a black and white CK shoot out at the same time – so we wanted to keep people guessing and make it a little confusing.”

“Sam’s such a great actor, I just wanted to capture his power. He’s got this killer, little look. He’s just so cool and slightly menacing.”
