Sofia for BUST Magazine, so pretty! A bit of the interview:Your stories are told through the perspective of young, innocent girls. Is this a conscious decision?
Well, 'Somewhere' is told more from the point of view of the Johnny Marco character [played by Stephen Dorff], but yes, we do see an exotic world through the eyes of his daughter Cleo [Elle Fanning]. They have a link because I guess I like these kind of girls. Charlotte [Lost in Translation] and Cleo are thoughtful observers. I like girls that have to break out of their environment to define themselves in their own way.
Your films also deal tenderly with father/daughter relationships. How attuned to that are you?
I don't know, I was thinking about becoming a parent for the first time when I was writing 'Somewhere', so it was on my mind, but it's true, 'Lost in Translation' has that. I like that memorable and romantic relationships can exist in an innocent way.

Many compare 'Somewhere' to 'Lost in Translation' and now we know why. Can't wait to see it!!

I like girls that have to break out of their environment to define themselves in their own way." Wow that's great, I can see a bit of myself in that girls too, that's why I love her films ;)
