“It's common to think things will never happen where you are-never in Cambridge, never in New York, never in Seattle-that sort of thing, whatever it is, never happens here, not in our community.

“I'm the most experienced cinematographer in this medium, so there's no point in having that extra conversation in the middle of the loop. You're making the film in relation to what's happening now, and you can't really affect what's happening now. It's not like you're in control of anything in front of the camera. If you're calling yourself the director and you're not the cinematographer, I think you're kidding yourself.”

“A man should orient his will and all his works to God and having only God in view go forward unafraid, not thinking, am I right or am I wrong?

It is our duty to do the next thing: go straight on, that is the right way.”

“The critical thing about the design process is to identify your scarcest resource. Despite what you may think, that very often is not money. For example, in a NASA moon shot, money is abundant but lightness is scarce; every ounce of weight requires tons of material below. On the design of a beach vacation home, the limitation may be your ocean-front footage. You have to make sure your whole team understands what scarce resource you're optimizing.”

“And from the first moment that I ever walked on stage in front of a darkened auditorium with a couple of hundred people sitting there, I was never afraid, I was never fearful, I didn't suffer from stage fright, because I felt so safe on that stage. I wasn't Patrick Stewart, I wasn't in the environment that frightened me, I was pretending to be someone else, and I liked the other people I pretended to be. So I felt nothing but security for being on stage. And I think that's what drew me to this strange job of playing make-believe.”

“I'm not very eloquent about things like this, but I think that writing and photography go together. I don't mean that they are related arts, because they're not.

It's about honesty, or truth telling, and a way to find it in yourself, how to need it and learn from it.”

“I think that becoming a parent absolutely changes your entire life and certainly changes your work, and it has changed mine.

When all else fails, he throws himself in front of the car. He's such a drama queen.”
