Emmanuel Lubezki
“Artificial light is simple. It is a specific color temperature and feel. But, natural light is complex and sometimes chaotic. A bounce from the floor or a reflection from the sky can do so much.”
Catherine Keener
“Well, for one thing, I like being a supporting actress. I like to come and go in the film. The interesting characters are very few if you want to be the lead, and they depend on you being beautiful. Since I'm not interested in those parts, the pressure's off, in a way. I'm not cast for my physicality. I find that playing so many characters in so many films is a way to be in the moment.”
Kazuo Miyagawa
“I am a cinematographer. I’ve never had any ambition to become a director. A film is not one individual’s method of personal expression but a matter of teamwork, a cooperative venture.”
Franz Kafka
“From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back. That is the point that must be reached.”
Julianne Moore
“I'm looking for the truth. The audience doesn't come to see you, they come to see themselves.”
Conrad Veidt
“It is precisely as if I am possessed by some other spirit when I enter on a new task of acting, as though something within me presses a switch and my own consciousness merges into some other, greater, more vital being.”
Gregg Toland
“Photographing Citizen Kane was indeed the most exciting professional adventure of my career.”
Charles Bronson
“I don't look like someone who leans on a mantelpiece with a cocktail in my hand, you know. I look like the kind of guy who has a bottle of beer in my hand.”
Romy Schneider
“I’ve worked with the biggest tyrants: Preminger, Welles, Visconti. Despots – they have contempt for most actors. When they meet someone who stands up to them, everything’s great.”
Tadanobu Asano
“I don't know if there's something in the Japanese spirit that drives that, but as a culture, I know, we're very respectful of artists--more so than in America, or so I've been led to believe.”
Kôbô Abe
“The most frightening thing in the world is to discover the abnormal in that which is closest to us.”
Fred MacMurray
“I was lucky enough to make four pictures with Barbara [Stanwyck]. In the first I turned her in, in the second I killed her, in the third I left her for another woman, and in the fourth I pushed her over a waterfall. The one thing all these pictures had in common was that I fell in love with Barbara Stanwyck - and I did, too.”
László Kovács
“In the Hollywood of the 1960s, everyone started on the same level: ground zero. Didn’t matter if you were a graduate from New York University or a refugee from Hungary.”
Tatsuya Nakadai
“You’re willing to take a plunge from any height. There’s just something about being in front of the camera. And being in front of an audience is the same thing. It’s hopeless. I guess I’m just a ham.”
Jeanne Moreau
“Characters who are on screen from start to finish are not necessarily the ones who have the greatest impact. ”
Klaus Kinski
“I sell myself for the highest price. Exactly like a prostitute. There is no difference. ”
Lionel Atwill
“One side of my face is gentle and kind, incapable of anything but love of my fellow man. The other side, the other profile, is cruel and predatory and evil, incapable of anything but the lusts and dark passions. It all depends on which side of my face is turned toward you--or the camera. It all depends on which side faces the moon at the ebb of the tide.”
George Clooney
“It's not about an opening weekend. It's about a career, building a set of films you're proud of. Period.”
