I cannot tell you much about the picture- it depends on so many things, the first of which that comes to my mind is: splendid as he is, is there too much of Spencer Tracy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If to the viewer's eyes, my world appears less beautiful than his, I'm to be pitied and the viewer praised.
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person.
I don't see myself as somebody who looks particularly good in photos.
If I could look like anyone, it would be Jamie Redknapp - even up close, he's amazing.
The best portraits are those in which there is a slight mixture of caricature.
Spencer Tracy was a man who did very much what I do on a set, and that is, he comes down and he does his job, and then he goes back to his dressing room.
Frank Capra, Hollywood's Horatio Alger, lights with more cinematic know-how and zeal than any other director to convince movie audiences that American life is exactly like the 'Saturday Evening Post' covers of Norman Rockwell. 'It's A Wonderful Life,' the latest example of Capracorn, shows his art at a hysterical pitch.
Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.
I've always loved those portraits that Alfred Stieglitz did of Georgia O'Keeffe over several years, which really convey the idea that there's not one image that can capture a woman, because we're changing all the time.
I've been criticised for pretty, smiley photographs, but at least someone is happy! In my mind, I am always giving the image to the sitter.
