I can't do a million things anymore like I could when I was younger.

I think seeing happens partly through the eyes, but not entirely.

If anything, I see myself as a witness. I'd also be pleased, if you'd call me an interpreter. I try to hear and see the message of a place and pass it on, into that other language, the universal one of images.

The most important question for me when I begin working on a film is where to start. For a book, what makes you convinced there is a story that is worthwhile?

In books they don't have deleted scenes, like with DVDs. You could have your deleted scene in a book as well!

The world of fashion. I'm interested in the world, not in fashion! But, maybe I was too quick to put down fashion. Why not look at it without prejudice? Why not examine it like any other industry, like the movies for example?

It's almost scary how stylish things can look if you take the color out - how much more you see the essence of things and how much more something can appear elegant.
