A Where did you take this photo of Tom Cruise?
B It was in New York. I was coming into the hotel and I saw him coming down the stairs. There were a lot of journalists waiting in reception. Everybody was shouting. So I went outside and I waited until he was getting into his car.

A What’s your favourite photo?
B This one, I think. I really like this photo because it’s not the usual way you see a top model. She was waiting with the other girls for the fashion show to begin. The other girls were all talking but she was just quietly reading a book.
A It’s a great photo.

A Anna, tell Jane about what happened to you that time.
B Well, I was driving home from work. It was a Friday evening, about half past five. It was winter and the weather was horrible – it was pouring with rain. I live in the country and to get to my house you have to go along a road where there are a lot of trees and very little traffic. Suddenly I saw a car stopped in the middle of the road and there was a man standing there waving his arms. He wanted me to stop.
C So did you stop?
B I didn’t know what to do, but in the end I stopped and got out of my car and said, ‘What’s the problem?’ Then suddenly another man ran from behind a tree and got into my car and drove away.
C Oh no!
B And then the first man got back into his car and drove away too! So I was just left standing there in the rain with no car.
C What did you do?
B Luckily I had my mobile and I rang my friend Pete, and he came and found me.
