Once you get into your stride, the camera becomes like another person in the room. It's like being in a very small theatre where there is no getting away with anything because the audience is centimetres away from you.

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.

I don't like to work with assistants. I'm already one too many; the camera alone would be enough.

I think I've spent more time in front of a camera than off camera. That's just the way it is.

Any time you're in front of a camera and have them yell 'Cut, re-shoot the scene,' are you kidding me? That's a huge advantage.

Any time you do opposing camera angles, there's gonna be some compromise in the lighting.

As someone who started in the digital background, it's an easier, better, faster platform to bounce off of. You already have so much momentum, and you already have the experience. You're already comfortable being in front of the camera.

When you're in front of the camera, for a small budget or a big budget movie, there's no difference.

I know I have the ability to do so much more than just stand in front of the camera the rest of my life.

If you've got five cameras, you're making sure that you're in the right position for each one of the cameras.
