It is the framework which changes with each new technology and not just the picture within the frame.

Every soldier must know before he goes into battle how the little battle he is to fight fits into the larger picture and how the success of his fighting will influence the battle as a whole.

Constant success shows us but one side of the world adversity brings out the reverse of the picture.

When I finish a picture I don't show it to anyone if I feel it's not good enough yet. I've learnt to listen to my partners and my friends. For me it's the biggest success if they like it.

I like form and shape and strength in pictures.

The newspapers loved pinup pictures of pretty young swimmers and as a national champion I got more than my share of space in the sports pages.

I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they'd be what position they'd play and so on.

We live in an image society. Speeches are not what anybody cares about what they care about is the picture.

The thing about science is that it's an accurate picture of the world.

I really like science because it seems to be that place where you get the big picture everything connects.

I landed a job with Roger Corman. The job was to write the English dialogue for a Russian science fiction picture. I didn't speak any Russian. He didn't care whether I could understand what they were saying he wanted me to make up dialogue.

It can make you sad to look at pictures from your youth. So there's a trick to it. The trick is not to look at the later pictures.

When I look back at those pictures of my mother performing - and listen to her recordings - it makes me sad to think that all of that joy she found in her work came to an end. I wish she hadn't had to make that sacrifice even if it was for the benefit of my father and siblings and me.

All pictures are unnatural. All pictures are sad because they're about dead people. Paintings you don't think of in a special time or with a specific event. With photos I always think I'm looking at something dead.

You do your work as a photographer and everything becomes past. Words are more like thoughts the photographer's picture is always surrounded by a kind of romantic glamor - no matter what you do and how you twist it.

And even Moonstruck - for some reason the audience were just in the mood for a very romantic film because it's one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

Moonstruck... was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
