I don't know what my formula is. I only know I like my characters to walk in clouds. I like a little bit of the fairy tale. Let others photograph the ugliness of the world. I don't want to distress people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Especially when you are advertising a product, I talk to the photographer and we create a character - it always gives you more freedom because it makes it less about yourself.
It is very necessary to have markers of beauty left in a world seemingly bent on making the most evil ugliness.
The result is a picture that represents so much of what I want and rarely get from a movie - a couple of hours filled with characters who are as exciting as the people I know in real life.
My impulse is to create an aesthetic that's about a humanistic approach to a world and trying to create compassion for all the characters.
I try to show ugliness, but with compassion for the people who commit ugly acts.
I have a book out called 'The Beauty Equation' and it discusses how off track we have gone in considering beauty.
I really don't know the secret to it, but I'd like to think my desirability is a combination of my personality, my image, and, most importantly, the kind of films I do.
I don't want ever to be guilty of what my critics claim: doing formula without original elements.
I am thrilled to be able to bring my vision of beauty to others who may be inspired by it.
I'm not that obsessed with making representations of ugliness. Everything I've seen is beautiful.
