Every cinematographer I worked with had his own way of solving problems.

You have to understand the nature of light.

There are infinite shadings of light and shadows and colors... it's an extraordinarily subtle language. Figuring out how to speak that language is a lifetime job.

There are a lot of directors who are knowledgeable about images, and others who aren't.

It took a while for me to grasp that my colleagues believe I have made an impact on the history of cinema.

The sun is the most parallel light source because it is so far away.

I was very happy sitting alone at a dining room table, writing a script.
