Complexity is not good. People don't understand the elegance of simplicity.

The thing about film is that your eye is selective. Film isn't. You have to make film do what you want. Simply photographing something doesn't do it. You have to know how to apply light and know what it does on film.

I'm a minimalist. I see things in simple ways...It's human nature to define complexity as better. Well, it's not.

There are a lot of cameramen but not so many photographers. And a lot of cameramen attack from a technical approach without much imagination. They look, but they don't see.

Grips and electricians have done more to help me shoot good movies than any other craft.

A huge problem in movies or with people who work on movies is that two people can look at the same thing but they don't necessarily see the same thing.
