But you're still dealing with another human being, you're still trying to get a performance out of him, you're still doing that part of directing. I work with actors. I've always worked with actors. Francis Coppola taught me how to work with actors. Now, Francis takes them home to dinner. He lives with them. I'm a different kind...

Sofia Coppola ogled John Galliano's Empire-waist Josephine dresses at Dior. At Armani's haute-couture debut, Penélope Cruz perused her options for the red carpets at this year's awards ceremonies. Even Vogue editor Anna Wintour was back in town after sitting out the past two spring couture seasons. But those who wanted to see the real action needed to keep an eye on the new faces...
