I always try to preserve my cinematographic style, even while I work in the US. I wish to always be European.

My father was an amateur filmmaker who shot 8mm color documentaries.

I always need a couple of highlights to really spark the passion for a project.

[Depp] has real ambitions, but he is deeply afraid of being considered pretentious.

I think I avoid stepping into sentimentality by trying to be as truthful as possible with performances.

I feel the need to work with my wife, Lena Olin, again.

I imagined that it might be awkward to talk to your wife about her performance, so going into it I was a little nervous. But doing it was actually a wonderfully inspiring experience.
