- Many

- Nov 07, 2020
There's so many films from around the world, I emphasize, that are so beautifully photographed, but they don't get the recognition.
- Pictures
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always painted or drawn pictures or taken still photographs; now I shoot movies. It's just about making images, really.
- I Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love everything that Cormac McCarthy has written.
- Mood
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are some sequences in films that I think work filmicly, that stand out to me, but that's much more to do with the staging and the cutting and the mood of the thing as a sequence, the way everything comes together.
- Challenge
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every scene is a challenge. There are technical challenges, but often it's the simplest challenge where you feel a sense of achievement when you pull it off.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Some of the smallest things on a smaller film, to me, are greater achievements than on a big film when you have the resources and the time and everything else.
- Important
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I feel every shot, every camera move, every frame, and the way you frame something and the choice of lens, I see all those things are really important on every shot.
- Perspective
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you shoot with a billion cameras, then there's no perspective. You want to use one shot at a time, so it's better to discover what that is before you shoot, rather than trying to make something in the cutting room, and then it just becomes generic.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like simplicity. I like using natural sources. I like images to look natural - as though somebody sitting in a room by a lamp is being lit by that lamp.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's nothing worse than an ostentatious shot. Or some lighting that draws attention to itself, and you might go, 'Oh, wow, that's spectacular.' Or that spectacular shot, a big crane move, or something.
- Art
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I came up, I suppose, a fairly traditional way. I went to art college. I always wanted to be a stills photographer, really, when I was younger, and I briefly worked as a stills photographer.
- Kid
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I loved movies ever since I was a kid.
- Fan
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always been a fan of Westerns, but my favorite kind of Westerns mostly were Sam Peckinpah's Westerns, and they mainly took place in the West that was changing.
- Happy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'd done a big movie that I wasn't happy with, and I was moving out of London when I got approached about Barton Fink, because my agent said the brothers were in London. We hit it off immediately, and suddenly I found myself on the way to America!
- Context
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't approach films purely in context of genre.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think technology has advanced so far now that there are some cameras on the market that give film a run for its money. It's all about flexibility in capturing images, and digital or film, it doesn't matter to me.
- Good

- Nov 07, 2020
People confuse 'pretty' with good cinematography.
- Learning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do think observing is important in learning.
- Fine
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I shot film with the Coen brothers on 'Hail, Caesar!' That's fine. I'm sentimental about film; I've shot film for forty years or something.
- Dad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My dad was a builder, so I didn't have any connection to the arts at all. I never really considered film as a career, but I knew I didn't want to be a builder.
- Mystery
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't really believe in the mystery of cinematography - what happens in the camera is what the cinematographers create and all that nonsense - I want the director to see what I'm trying to do.
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't really like watching 3-D.
- Reality
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't do that virtual reality stuff. I'm not even into 3D, actually... I've been offered it. I just don't want to.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My time in documentaries was very educating, in terms of life experience as well as the filmmaking side of it.
