You are always a student, never a master. You have to keep moving forward.

There are a lot of directors who are knowledgeable about images, and others who aren't.

Dad, wherever you are, you are gone but you will never be forgotten.

But at heart, I am more than a cinematographer.

I want to tell a story and shape it all the way through to the end.

The closer the source of light is to a subject, the broader the beams are.

I just wanted to try directing, and the best way was to write the material, so I was imbued with its origins when I was dealing with the actors.

If the sun creates a shadow of a character on a wall, it is going to be proportionate to the size of the actor.

Painting and writing are solitary arts.

The truth is that every experience, every feeling, every film you see, becomes part of the sensibilities you apply to making a movie.

Every once in a while, when the audience is expecting to see one thing, you have to show them something else.

Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so than music or language.
