I like to work my camera as if it were a musical instrument.

I've spent my life hearing people trying to apologize for music.

I am intrigued enough to want to continue, and also to try and work with companies like Sony on modifying the cameras and making them more user-friendly and efficient.

It's difficult working with very rich actors, because inevitably they become a little spoilt, and the managers and agents tend to control things more than is healthy.

The power of sound to put an audience in a certain psychological state is vastly undervalued. And the more you know about music and harmony, the more you can do with that.

The function of camera movement is to assist the storytelling. That's all it is. It cannot be there just to demonstrate itself.

I'm a huge fan of world cinema, because each country uses cinema in a very individual way.
