It took me a long time to get comfortable with the idea of being photographed by a moving or still camera.

For a period of time, I carried cameras with me wherever I went, and then I realized that my interest in photography was turning toward the conceptual. So I wasn't carrying around cameras shooting stuff, I was developing concepts about what I wanted to shoot. And then I'd get the camera angle and do the job.

I love doing motion pictures and expect to be as busy as I want to be in them.

I look at the camera as sort of a missing link between motion picture photography and still photography.

I was primarily interested in people, and people in action, so that I did nothing photographically in the sense of doing buildings for their own sake or a still life or anything like that.

I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.

Everyone always told me I was fated to be in front of the camera.

I had been teaching myself photography.

I realized what you could do in motion pictures by surrounding yourself with geniuses.
