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

I don't like to be in front of the camera - my place is behind the camera.

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

You make a film for a million dollars and then it costs $10 million to sell it. That's the problem at the moment with independent filmmaking: You can make it cheap and then there's no money to market it.

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.

Technology has a great deal to do with it. The Panaflex camera was a big breakthrough when it came along; it changed everything, because now you could shoot from the perspective of a person riding in the backseat of a car.

I'm not really satisfied with the technology today. Using film was so much easier than the digital technology of today. But digital is still at the beginning of what it can be and they'll be fixing all those problems.
