Having started as a designer I have a lot to do with settings and costumes, because I think they relate to the story and character, explain it.
I always have coffee without sugar, you know. Just cream.
I feel that a picture that stays with you is made up of a hundred or more hidden things. They’re things that the audience is not conscious of, but that accumulate.
No, I only like whether I like the story or not, essentially see something in it that isn't completely there.
But I went down to Venezuela and spend a few weeks going through jungles. It's fantastic looking.
I allow an area for improvisation because the chemical things actors bring to stories make it not work.
I always liked the Van Gogh story because I was terribly involved in that.
It's always the story that interests me.
I had given up the theater and everything propelled me into entertainment. And I didn't resist it.
I started out to be a painter and was born into the theater.
