My advice is, don't spend money on therapy. Spend it in a record store.
Wim Wenders -
What is generally referred to as American-style films are, in fact, studio productions.
Wim Wenders -
If anything, I see myself as a witness. I'd also be pleased, if you'd call me an interpreter. I try to hear and see the message of a place and pass it on, into that other language, the universal one of images.
