To me, the camera is like a musical instrument. You use it to control the flow, shape, size and colors of images.

I hope I'm still shooting when I'm 80.

That's why I like fast film. It gives you more freedom to light more naturally.

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.

But you know you haven't done it all because you know everything keeps evolving and changing; and you know you can evolve with it if you grow and develop as a human being.

I suppose I would still be a communicator, maybe a musician.

It is also difficult to articulate the subtleties in cinema, because there aren't words or metaphors which describe many of the emotions you are attempting to evoke.
