My father would tell anyone who would listen that this dentist thing he was doing was not his passion; cinematography was.

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

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

I made all their videos, apart from the last two, so if you ever see an Abba video on TV then it’s my stuff.

My films do have characters who have trouble escaping the world around them.

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

It was important on The Shipping News to have my house far enough away from each location so I had this time in the morning to think about my shots and still remain open to surprises once I got to the set.
