I’ll be your mirror

Nicolas Roeg on mirrors and memory.

I’ve used mirrors in a lot of movies. I think the mirror is an extraordinary thing, also the reflective, a reflection in water etc. Don’t you think it’s something strange that you rarely look at yourself in the mirror, except to do things like stand and ponder? I mean, in Shakespeare’s day it was thought that the mirror would reveal something, that it is trying to tell you something – not just to tidy your hair, but something more.
