Camera Quotes

Standing before a camera isn’t intimidating. It’s more comfortable for me. I enjoy it now. I’m more aware of what to do Picture Quote #1

I want to allow others to reveal and celebrate aspects of themselves that are usually hidden. My camera is a witness. It holds a light up for my subjects to help them feel their own essence, and gives them the courage to collaborate in the recording of these revelations Picture Quote #1

You find that you have to do many things, more than just lift up the camera and shoot, and so you get involved in it in a very physical way. You may find that the picture you want to do can only be made from a certain place, and you’re not there, so you have to physically go there. And that participation may spur you on to work harder on the thing,... because in the physical change of position you start seeing a whole different relationship Picture Quote #1

I was meticulously copying other art and then I realized I could just use a camera and put my time into an idea instead Picture Quote #1

I grew up around horses, but acting and riding on camera is a whole different thing Picture Quote #1

I think its good for an actor to bounce between stuff on camera and stuff in theatre. If I could do half and half every year I would be a very, very happy man Picture Quote #1

I definitely knew that I loved acting from the very beginning. I was such a ham growing up. Wherever the camera was, I wanted to be right in front of it Picture Quote #1

You have to communicate on a much greater scale. With a camera, you can use the flick of an eye. On stage, a lot of other things are happening that can pull focus or energy. You’re always thinking the same way, but you have to amplify your thoughts with the volume of your speech and the ways you use your whole body to communicate what you’re feeling. It’s a little bit different from film Picture Quote #1

I got a camera when I was nine years old and it wasn’t until I was a model that I realized you could be a photographer for a job Picture Quote #1

It’s much simpler to be tortured on camera or to be filmed losing your mind. Whereas a script that has characters who are honest, witty and genuine is often much harder to act Picture Quote #1

I think where I’ve instinctively found myself is that I am somewhat guarded in my public life. Being interviewed or being photographed or just in public attention, I have a certain reserve. But when I’m working I feel like I’m very open. At least I like to believe that I feel like nothing is held back when I’m in front of a camera. That’s my job Picture Quote #1

I’ve rarely played glamorous roles. I don’t mind looking plain on camera Picture Quote #1

The camera can film my face but until it captures my soul, you don’t have a movie Picture Quote #1

The first thing I did in the studio was to want to tear that camera to pieces. I had to know how that film got into the cutting room, what you did to it in there, how you projected it, how you finally got the picture together, how you made things match. The technical part of pictures is what interested me. Material was the last thing in the world I thought about. You only had to turn me loose on the set and I’d have material in two minutes, because I’d been doing it all my life Picture Quote #1

I was very shy, and it was a lot easier for me to communicate if I had a camera between me and other people Picture Quote #1

People want me to be funny all the time. They think I’m being funny no matter what I say or do and that’s not the case. I rarely joke unless I’m in front of a camera. It’s not what I am in real life. It’s what I do for a living Picture Quote #1

There is a bit of acting involved when you get in front of a camera for a video. Even when you perform onstage, you’re putting on a show Picture Quote #1

A camera alone does not make a picture. To make a picture you need a camera, a photographer and above all a subject. It is the subject that determines the interest of the photograph Picture Quote #1

I’ll be goddamned if I’m going to stay in a business where I have to get up earlier and earlier and it takes longer and longer for me to get in front of a camera Picture Quote #1

After you play husband and wife on camera multiple times, it becomes easy to be husband and wife off camera as well Picture Quote #1

When they took me to do the camera test for the vampire make up, after they put the prosthetic on, I went though the entire process, I went back to my trailer and I looked in the mirror and I smiled Picture Quote #1

The difference between an amateur and a professional photographer is that the amateur thinks the camera does the work. And they treat the camera with a certain amount of reverence. It is all about the kind of lens you choose, the kind of film stock you use… exactly the sort of perfection of the camera. Whereas, the professional the real professional – treats the camera with unutterable disdain. They pick up the camera and sling it aside. Because they know it’s the eye and the brain that count, not the mechanism that gets between them and the subject that counts Picture Quote #1

I’ve always had the utmost respect and awe of what the lens can do and what a director can do with just a camera move Picture Quote #1

I try to express in my films things that no other art can approach. In my monster films for example, I use special effects in the same way one would use a special film stock, a special camera, and so on. Monster films permit me to use all of these elements at the same time. They are the most visual kind of film Picture Quote #1

The key is to not let the camera, which depicts nature in so much detail, reveal just what the eye picks up, but what the heart picks up as well Picture Quote #1

I’m not the type of person to act one way in front of the camera and another when it’s off. What you see is what you get Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t stand in front of any camera, and I couldn’t go to places where there were a lot of people. I thought people would criticize me if I smiled, or even if I just stayed still Picture Quote #1

Filmmaking isn’t if you can just strap on a camera onto an actor, and steadicam, and point it at their face, and follow them through the movie, that is not what moviemaking is, that is not what it’s about. It’s not just about getting a performance. It’s also about the psychology of the cinematic moment, and the psychology of the presentation of that, of that window Picture Quote #1

The camera for an artist is just another tool. It is no more mechanical than a violin if you analyze it. Beyond the rudiments, it is up to the artist to create art, not the camera Picture Quote #1

You put your camera around your neck along with putting on your shoes, and there it is, an appendage of the body that shares your life with you. The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera Picture Quote #1
