A good [film] director is talented, imaginative, and does his homework.

I think that film is still an artform and it doesn't really matter if you're using a digital camera or a film camera.

I like to say that lighting is about taking the light away. I often like to use the shadows more than the light.

When I first came to America there still was Look Magazine and LIFE Magazine, and the photography in those magazines was amazing to look at. They had the best portraits, and their news photography.

I'm always looking for directors who are very strong, they have great ideas, but on the other hand, that need help. It means they rely mostly on my eyes.

For me, movies should be visual. If you want dialogue, you should read a book.

Kubrick was one of those directors who actually did practically everything in his movies. He actually directed, photographed, wrote, lit, edited - everything. A few people can be like that.
