Actually, I think what is being shown as beauty in fashion magazines right now has become particularly ugly. This kind of straight, blonde very conservative.

I just get inspired to take a picture by the beauty and vulnerability of my friends.

[John] Cassavetes, "Killing of a Chinese Booker", "Opening Night" are my favourites.

The main thing that I want to say is that I don't think women are at their most beautiful in their adolescence or in their early 20s.

I think it killed my sister as the times she was living in were so conformist. This is a subject I really want to deal with. I want to start making films about female rage.

I love all the Hollywood women. I saw all the films when I was a teenager. Jack Smith's "Flaming Creatures".

The complete disregard for the camera's presence indicates its complete saturation in their lives. The subject neither notices nor seems to care that someone has been invited into their private moment.
