Contrary to the popular caricature of him, the Duke of Edinburgh was neither judgmental nor unfeeling.
The Shaun Ryder in the Happy Mondays isn’t the real Shaun Ryder. It’s a caricature. Always has been.
I played up to a caricature when I was in the band, always pouting in photos and being the entertainer. But I’m also emotional and sensitive, not as thick-skinned as people think.
I like books that expose me to people unlike me and books that do battle against caricature or simplification. That, to me, is the heroic in fiction.
When I made ‘Polly Maggoo,’ it was more or less the end of this collaboration with ‘Vogue’ because I made a caricature of the editor-in-chief and the fashion people, so they didn’t really adore me.
