We can bring it all down to the subtleties of the shifting of an eye because we know the camera will catch it. That has been a great thing to learn, and it makes it interesting for a guy who has been in it as long as I have.

What is important is for me to do my best work on camera. The camera is inches away from you and sees every micromovement of every muscle of your eye. And if you're not relaxed, the camera sees it.

My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, for the camera's eye may entirely change my idea.

I hate cameras. They interfere, they're always in the way. I wish: if I could work with my eyes alone.

Looking into the camera creates a special eye and soul contact.

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!

An eye for an eye only leads to more blindness.

This thing called the camera, that takes everything in equally, taught me a lot about how to see.

The camera is not your eye, and it's not the eye of the audience. I don't think it's my eye, either. It belongs to the film.

Having an eye is one thing, but you have to be able to execute.
