The place where I am is always my favorite place.

In New York, unlike Holland, there are newspaper stands on every corner. That was a big headline all over the city.

I am excited about more than just youth culture, and youth is also stretching a bit longer now. But I have to say resistance and disregard keeps me excited.

In Holland, things were pretty stale for me. Even though there were a lot of good influences and a certain openness to music and art and literature, I just wanted to go somewhere less familiar - somewhere bigger.

The place where I am is always my favorite place.

Sometimes when people look at the work I've done with my family, they think it's autobiographical. But it really isn't. It's more about the idea of family.

I have always made films simultaneously, so they go hand in hand. I think that my books are like films.
