I can't see America any other way than with a European's eyes. It fascinates me and terrifies me at the same time.

Portraying visual impairment is difficult. I can see what's going on, but I have to act like I can see nothing. And this can be quite a challenge.

Lives that are so conspicuous have a claustrophobic feeling. Once you're in charge of running a country, you're under scrutiny all the time. That's a trap.

I travel, I read, I write, I have other lives. But when I have a camera, I know that's my country, my island.

I feel like I'm capable of doing so many things to help people around the country and the world.

I want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war.

Taking time to sit back and watch and think about what you've seen is important. Traveling did a great deal to me. I found that when I travel and just sit in the corner and watch, a million ideas come to me.

In order to lead a country or a company, you've got to get everybody on the same page and you've got to be able to have a vision of where you're going. America can't have a vision of health care for everybody, green economy, regulations - can't have a bunch of piece-meal activities. It's got to have a vision.
