uneven embouchure

I just want to get your opinions on this.

I realize that I play with an uneven embouchure. I have my mouthpiece slightly to my left of my mouth.

I am quite happy with how I play clarinet, the sound I produce and the response I get. I have noticed from videos that Leister also seems to have a slightly uneven embouchure.

So, my question is, firstly, why do you think this has happened?
I don't feel anything uneven about it, and I imagine I have been playing this way for years, but I only can notice it when looking in the mirror.

secondly, do you think I might be somehow not getting the most out of my playing?

One of the principle trumpets from the Berlin phil plays out of the corner of his mouth, and he's an excellent player. . . Are there other woodwind players who are like this?

Thanks
Sacha
