Camera Quotes

After 2000 or so, I started to realize I wanted to be doing something else. I didn’t want to be in front of a camera. I was frustrated. I didn’t think I would stop acting, but I didn’t want to be seen Picture Quote #1

I love the idea of documentaries. I love seeing documentaries, and I love making them. Documentaries are incredibly easy to shoot. The ease with which you can hear something’s going on, somebody’s going to be somewhere: That sounds so interesting. Pick up your camera and go Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to love acting and that’s true for me. I love the idea of getting on stage and getting in front of a camera Picture Quote #1

We as comics do want an immediate response from the audience. It’s really quiet on the set, and there are only the producers, and the director, so a comic is looking for someone to give a reaction, even if it is the camera guy Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, I would make kung fu movies with the kids in the neighborhood, and I would be the guy behind the camera directing everybody, but they were all very silly little shorts and comedy bits Picture Quote #1

People are so used to having their lives filmed, they’re not even conscious of having cameras around. I still have that sort of suspicion when a camera comes out. I view it as a thing to fear Picture Quote #1

I only shoot on film. I like the quality, the grain and the imperfections. It offers me something much more rewarding than any digital camera can give me. I believe the extra expense is worth it Picture Quote #1

The thing is that when you don’t carry a camera, that’s when you see pictures in particular, or at least that’s when you think you see pictures in particular. When you do carry it, if you do see one on the occasion that you do, you can take it Picture Quote #1

I used to fly around the stage without strings or camera tricks. That took seven years to create Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned survival secrets from being on camera, and then translated them into everyday life Picture Quote #1

With acting, I’ve got a character to inhabit. You’ve got to think about your intentions and your directions. In modeling, even though there’s an act to it, a good model is a good model. For me it’s uncomfortable territory. You start to feel quite insecure about yourself. There’s nothing between you and the camera, and it’s just you Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been involved with all aspects of my careers. Being behind the camera seems as natural as in front Picture Quote #1

I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty. I could have just as easily picked up a knife or a gun, like many of my childhood friends did... most of whom were murdered or put in prison... but I chose not to go that way. I felt that I could somehow subdue these evils by doing something beautiful that people recognize me by, and thus make a whole different life for myself, which has proved to be so Picture Quote #1

Just having the camera, being able to pull back from situations and be an observer, it saved my life... I realised I could find these intimate moments and that people trusted me. That, basically, my camera was magic Picture Quote #1

For me, being in front of a camera is a matter of practicing and refining your art. I think, if you’re telling a story worth telling, it’s worth investing the time into developing Picture Quote #1

The photographs of space taken by our astronauts have been published all over the place. But the eye is a much more dynamic mechanism than any camera or pictures. It’s a more exciting view in person than looking at the photographs. Of course, I personally am sick and tired of hearing people talk like that: I want to see it myself! Picture Quote #1

A lot of people think theatre must be much harder work than film, but anything histrionic or superfluous gets seen on camera so you have to work to distil it into a complete sense of what’s true Picture Quote #1

I’d like to direct myself but I’m a cinephile and I also would like to just step behind the camera and be on the other end of making movies Picture Quote #1

You will find hardly any improvising on camera anywhere in my films. It’s very structured, but it’s all worked out from elaborate improvisations over a long period, as you know Picture Quote #1

Screen work always boils down to that moment between the camera and the actor or the actors. It always boils down to that, ultimately. You serve the camera Picture Quote #1

I’ve worked with actors who treat the first two takes like rehearsals. And that’s okay. If the camera is on you and we’re doing a scene where I’m off camera, I’m treating that as a rehearsal Picture Quote #1

I like being involved in the lighter side of journalism because it serves a purpose, and it’s fun. And I can keep my opinions off camera if I want Picture Quote #1

It has taken a long time for me to be able to really just be in front of the camera Picture Quote #1

Some cameras are heavier and need to be on tripods. Others are small enough to hide in your pocket. There are places where you don’t want to feel like you are disturbing anything, so I may use a camera like that Picture Quote #1

I’m working in a form of cinema that can be described, and has been described, as a diaristic form of cinema. In other words, with material from my own life. I walk through life with my camera, and occasionally I film. I never think about scripts, never think about films, making films Picture Quote #1

I’m not so much in the future as always in the present. The future always takes care of itself. What I do now with my video camera, it can only record what is happening now. I am celebrating reality and the essence of the moment. And that’s the greatest challenge that I have Picture Quote #1

If there’s a camera on me or off me, it’s roughly the same, just a lot less energy Picture Quote #1

A good browser, apps, good camera, and fast networking in your smartphone is just expected today Picture Quote #1

The camera machine cannot evade the objects which are in front of it. When the photographer selects this movement, the light, the objects, he must be true to them. If he includes in his space a strip of grass, it must be felt as the living differentiated thing it is and so recorded. It must take its proper but no less important place as a shape and a texture in relationship to the mountain tree or what not, which are included Picture Quote #1
