• ¿Por qué tanta insistencia en los sentidos? Porque para convencer al lector de que está ALLÍ, hay que atacar cada uno de sus sentidos con colores, sonidos, sabores y texturas. Si el lector siente el sol en su carne, el viento agitando las mangas de su camisa, la mitad de la batalla está ganada. Las historias más inverosímiles pueden hacerse creíbles si el lector, a través de sus sentidos, tiene la certeza de que se encuentra en medio de los acontecimientos. No puede negarse a participar. La lógica de los acontecimientos siempre cede el paso a la lógica de los sentidos.

  Ray Bradbury

It was pretty crazy because I only started shooting celebrity stuff in 1998 - literally two and a half years later, I'm opening this company.

• Leica are known for their still camera lenses and in the last year and a half have come out with a series of film lenses and they are brilliant.

So in terms of fitting into the rig, everything is almost purpose built for that and the quality is beautiful, really beautiful.

• One of the challenges assembling the film was that gun fight went on for three and a half hours and we obviously couldn't spend three and a half hours of the film with one gun fight.
