Picture Quotes

I have never gone into a picture without first studying my characterization from all angles. I make a study of the fellow’s life and try to learn everything about him, including the conditions under which he came into this world, his parentage, his environment, his social status, and the things in which he is interested. Then I attempt to get his mental attitude as much as possible Picture Quote #1

I do not hold that because the author did a bad job of writing the player need trump it with the same kind of acting. When I go into a picture I have only one character to look after. If the author didn’t do him justice, I try to add whatever the creator of the part overlooked 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

Hang onto your sense of humor. I picture my obituary : The sexiest man alive is now dead Picture Quote #1

I do my best to look at the bigger picture and not sweat the small stuff. I make it a point to have alone time. I value that some of life’s best moments happen over a meal with your family or a glass of wine with your friends. And when life seems like a lot to bear, I dance around like a kid until I laugh 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

You put the picture of the ideal person in your head and then someone comes along and they don’t fit that ideal at all. But somehow there is something about them that is so attractive. Everyone that I have fallen for has not fit that ideal at all Picture Quote #1

I just get inspired to take a picture by the beauty and vulnerability of my friends Picture Quote #1

When I go to the cinema, I want to have a cinematic experience. Some people ignore the sound and you end up seeing something you might see on television and it doesn’t explore the form. Sound is the other picture. When you show people a rough cut without the sound mix they are often really surprised. Sound creates a completely new world. With dialogue, people say a lot of things they don’t mean. I like dialogue when it’s used in a way when the body language says the complete opposite. But I love great dialogue I think expositional dialogue is quite crass and not like real life Picture Quote #1

What is important to my work is the individual picture. I photograph stories on assignment, and of course they have to be put together coherently. But what matters most is that each picture stands on its own, with its own place and feeling Picture Quote #1

A picture can express a universal humanism, or simply reveal a delicate and poignant truth by exposing a slice of life that might otherwise pass unnoticed Picture Quote #1

Art is long. Life is short. A picture can become for us a highway between a particular thing and a universal feeling Picture Quote #1

A photographer is a witness. He has a moral duty. Every picture must be true and honest. I believe a photographer’s strength is his ability to accurately record reality. There are photographers who think they are lucky if they find unusual or special subject. But it is never the subject that is so marvelous. It is how alive and real the photographer can make it Picture Quote #1

What is perfect? Journey, a thing doesn’t have to be perfect to be fine. That goes for a picture. That goes for life... Things can be good enough Picture Quote #1

The images in a picture book are the driving forces that tell the story. The words tell only what the pictures can’t Picture Quote #1

Directing ain’t about drawing a neat little picture and showing it to the cameraman. I didn’t want to go to film school. I didn’t know what the point was. The fact is, you don’t know what directing is until the sun is setting and you’ve got to get five shots and you’re only going to get two Picture Quote #1

I picture success and winning. The body has a physical response to mental images of winning Picture Quote #1

I always find myself gravitating to the analogy of a maze. Think of film noir and if you picture the story as a maze, you don’t want to be hanging above the maze watching the characters make the wrong choices because it’s frustrating. You actually want to be in the maze with them, making the turns at their side, that keeps it more exciting... I quite like to be in that maze Picture Quote #1

If a picture wasn’t going very well I’d put a puppy dog in it, always a mongrel, you know, never one of the full bred puppies. And then I’d put a bandage on its foot... I liked it when I did it, but now I’m sick of it Picture Quote #1

Look from the blind man’s eye... You can paint the picture, the way you like about this world, so why not think positive and make this world more beautiful for yourself and others? Picture Quote #1

My photographs are a picture of the chaos in the world, and of my relationship to that chaos. My prints show the world’s constant upsetting of man’s equilibrium, and his eternal battle to reestablish it Picture Quote #1

When I was a boy, my family took great care with our snapshots. We really planned them. We made compositions. We posed in front of expensive cars, homes, that werent ours. We borrowed dogs. Almost every family picture taken of us when I was young had a different borrowed dog in it Picture Quote #1

I only ever take one picture of one thing. Literally. Never two. So then that picture is taken and then the next one is waiting somewhere else Picture Quote #1

As a picture painted in yellow always radiates spiritual warmth, or as one in blue has apparently a cooling effect, so green is only boring Picture Quote #1

The emotion of beauty is always obscured by the appearance of the object. Therefore, the object must be eliminated from the picture Picture Quote #1

Every true artist has been inspired more by the beauty of lines and color and the relationships between them than by the concrete subject of the picture Picture Quote #1

We favor the simple expression of the complex thought. We are for the large shape because it has the impact of the unequivocal. We wish to reassert the picture plane. We are for flat forms because they destroy illusion and reveal truth Picture Quote #1

You need a theme in a picture book just as much or maybe even more than you need it in a novel Picture Quote #1

Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do Picture Quote #1

The hurdles have taught me that if you work really, really hard at perfecting the little things in your life, the big picture will come together Picture Quote #1
