I think too many film students in America are losing the artistry and not learning lighting the right way.

The best way to know when there's good lighting is when you don't notice it.

I shot a lot of commercials and sometimes I enjoy the commercial shooting and sometimes I really hate it, but in thirty seconds or one minute, you can make some remarkable work shooting in one or two or three days.

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

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

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

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