“You cannot reduce teenagers to their hairstyle, dress sense, the music they listen to, etc. Teenagers fall in love, experience rejection, get pimples, face peer pressure, and these things screw up the mind. People interest me more than anything else. If I had a scenery of beautiful blue sky, fluffy clouds, pristine beach, swaying trees, but in the corner there are two teenagers holding hands, I would look at them.”
