Photography is a very important part of my life.
I was very happy sitting alone at a dining room table, writing a script.
It was 100 feet of 16 mm black-and-white film of a car coming to a stop sign, and driving off. I had to decide how to frame and light it. It was magic. There was a sense of mystery.
Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so than music or language.
The closer the source of light is to a subject, the broader the beams are.
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.
