I like engineering, but I love the creative input.

It's easy to create something that has a lot of luster, but it's very hard to make something that has a lot of depth.

Digital imaging has untied our hands with regards to technical limitations. We no longer have to be arbiters of technology; we get to participate in the interpretation of technology into creative content.

Human beings are really attuned to their senses. When you work in film, you are working with the visual and audio senses. An understanding of tactile and other components that go into the creation of those objects are important to making them look real on screen, like a plasma of energy.

I think that era of mechanically figuring out of how to bring a particular evocative image to the screen was a really important part of my education.

George Lucas wanted this moving camera for all of the photography in Star Wars. He was willing to take a risk with the concepts that I advanced with regard to ways for doing that.

Boy, am I glad there wasn't a fourth episode of Lord of the Rings.
