Making pictures, for an actress, is like betting, for a gambler. Each time you make a picture you try to analyze why you won or lost.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you create a movie, you create something in your image.
I don't see myself as a moviemaker only, you know? When I can do a picture, I do. But I don't work like a business, in pictures. I am not obliged to make one picture after the other in order to live.
By making pictures, you learn the many different properties of photography. I use those properties differently than, say, an advertising agency would, but we're both operating in the same reality. A face painted by Picasso occupies the same reality as a portrait by Stieglitz.
The job is trying to create movie shots that have depth, that have the meanings you need them to have, and then good enough so that they will add something to the final picture. They will make the picture; they'll get into the picture, and give them what they need. It's an interesting job.
If you're an actor, you're at the mercy of a script. You've got far more control if you're the photographer.
In movies, images cost - if you want a big image, it takes more money.
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person.
I am not trying to make an image; I am an actor trying to sell movies.
Most women's pictures are as boring and as formulaic as men's pictures. In place of a car chase or a battle scene, what you get is an extreme closeup of a woman breaking down.
Making a pretty picture, an image, is a completely different thing from acting to camera.
