“For this very reason I refuse all the tricks of the trade and professional virtuosity which could make me betray my career. As soon as I find a subject which interests me, I leave it to the lens to record it truthfully. Look at the reporters and at the amateur photographer! They both have only one goal; to record a memory or a document. And that is pure photography.” LooksReasonGoalInterestMemoriesCareersRecordsSubjectsPurePhotographyTradePhotographerRefuseTricksBetrayReportersDocumentsLensesVirtuosity Author:Andre Kertesz
“Without a body and without time, I wasn't disturbed by my ego or by the function or dysfunction of my brain and memory. And during my pure perception within the source, I had no opinion either. I didn't even have an 'I.' An opinion is tied to the ego, and the ego to the body.

“We actually needed the memory - if you see the film - as a very different kind of a plot device of revealing some information to our main character. So we chose to represent it as these sort of beautiful little snow globes, which kind of, weirdly, that's the way we think of memories - at least, most of the folks that we talked to. You think of these memories as being very pure and absolute and unchanging. That's not actually real life.” IfsThinkingWayKindLittlesDifferentRealCharacterBeautifulFilmMemoriesInformationNeededPureAbsolutesFolksReal LifeSnowPlotDevicesDifferent KindsGlobesRevealingThink Of MeUnchangingMain Characters Author:Pete Docter
