• Animo a los estudiantes de cine interesados en la cinematografía a que estudien escultura, pintura, música, escritura y otras artes. El cine consiste en todas las artes combinadas. Los estudiantes siempre me piden consejo, y yo les digo que tienen que ser entusiastas, porque es un trabajo duro. La única manera de disfrutarlo es estar totalmente inmerso. Si no te implicas a ese nivel, puede ser un trabajo muy miserable. Sólo lamento una cosa de mi carrera: Lamento que ya no se hagan películas mudas. Es la forma de arte más pura que puedo imaginar.

• It's all about special effects and explosions now. It leaves me just cold when I walk out of the theater. There's no heart; there's no soul. Movies used to be about people. It's as though we don't tell stories any more. The studios have to make money, and if you want to make $20 million, you have to spend $200 million.

• I think all cinematographers, at least most of them, would love to do everything on location because you cannot cheat on location. It's there, it's part of the story usually. You have to deal with the elements. You have the sunshine, you have rain, you have fog - it really makes you work harder to try to match things during the day to make it look like it was shot within five minutes, movie time.
