Even in manipulating the images, I would like to do my dailies in a digital way because you can do so many things in that stage that I cannot do in real photography.

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

Each story has a different approach for me and I try to work with lighting that will tell you visually the story better than if it was shot in available light.

What I would suggest to the young people is to not forget this and don't try to get assimilated into today's Hollywood style of movies because I don't think it's going to last long.

Sometimes the shots serve as homages to other movies and other directors, like Hitchcock.

There is something missing in a lot of digital filmmaking, something I call "poetic reality." That's something you see played out in film noir, where the technique establishes the mood.

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.
