We were just hanging out and getting to learn about each other. But I think trust was a really big thing. Patti [Smith] is a good friend, somebody I can talk to.

For me to see the film [Dream of Life] on a big screen - it's pretty extraordinary.

Fashion has also been a great outlet, and I'd like to do more fashion photography in the future. I also photograph a lot of artists.

I was making a film [Dream of Life] about Patti [Smith], but I was taking pictures, too.

Because the filming process was so organic and there was no script, the film [Dream of Life] was literally telling us what it wanted to be in the editing room.

There are a lot of layers in the film [Dream of Life]. And during editing we would try to tame all the layers, try to make things a little bit more understood. We would move scenes around. We'd try all these things.

I took pictures of the objects and artifacts that Patti [Smith] would show to her friends because I wanted to document them.
