"What characterizes the images I was looking for, was that an image must be very concrete, very physical, and that one feels the sensuality evident that the image brings. The images aren't there only to tell the story -- to show one image after another and make the story advance. They are there so the viewer physically feels something. The skin of the characters is very important. All the work with color on the walls, all the colors that surround the characters, must be there to exacerbate the physical feeling of their skin."
