I am actually retired - yes, I am retired. But I like to work. So I'm retired until someone calls me up to work.

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

There are many, many different kinds of movies and directors and styles. I don't mind that a movie looks like a movie.

Some movies are what I would call murky. Just because it's murky doesn't make it artistic. It makes it hard to see.

I should mention Vittorio Storaro, who was Bernardo Bertolucci's cinematographer. You watch those films and they are exceptional.

If you use hand-held techniques just to make the film stylish I think it's wrong.

I don't know the American photographers as well, but I admit I love Ansel Adams. His landscapes are so crisp.
