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.

Fashion's been really good to me. It financed Patti Smith: Dream of Life.

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

I do remember, the first time we met [with Patti Smith], the door opening with a squeak. And then there was this very beautiful girl looking out.

I shot [Dream of Life] all on 16-millimeter, and I just wanted to learn about Patti [Smith].

I remember when we were at Sundance, we were in Robert Redford's screening room, and I had never seen the film look so beautiful or sound so great. It was really big and really powerful, and I had a sense of accomplishment in finishing a project like this.

Sometimes my fashion pictures can look a little bit like documentary style pictures. So having a camera in my hand was normal.
