In the car and in front of the camera I tend to be very calm but behind the scenes I can get fired up and passionate I just don't see the need to shout my mouth off in public.

We had the guys from X Men 2 do the cameras. They had a 360 camera that would go from one car up in the air and over to another car in a continuous shot while the film was still rolling going 90 mph.

The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I'll play in bands and record and play songs with other people but for me it's a form of expression that all I need is me. I don't need cameras or agents I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified.

I've managed to keep a clear head and remain sane in this business because I remain a kid off-camera.

I grew up in the business since I was three years old so I've always kind of been in front of the camera and grew up in commercials and I knew that I wanted to do it no matter what I just loved it.

I was bullied as a kid and I got a job on television. And I had a camera. And so I wanted to go after those business bullies. And I just have been following that instinct.

The camera fails to capture the 'business' in show business! We typically will give 10 percent of our salary to the agent 10 percent to the manager and 5 percent to the lawyer plus the publicist gets a flat fee which needs to be budgeted for.

I love photography. My boyfriend's got a great camera which I bought for his birthday.

Perhaps it sounds ridiculous but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all.

Nothing. We're all friends and friendly. So when the cameras go down depending on the mood or the nature of the material we're dealing with there's usually a kind of a prevailing light attitude that's floating around.

The creative act lasts but a brief moment a lightning instant of give-and-take just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.

And then we watched an amazing number of movies from the late '60s and '70s which is my favorite time and we studied their camera movements their stocks the way they lit stuff the colors they used.

It was amazing to watch him in the darkroom at an advanced age still get excited when the results were pleasing. He still struggled like we all do in the darkroom and he struggled behind the camera and when he had a success he was beaming.

Motion capture is amazing. I prefer it. You wear a 'Power Ranger'-esque suit you have tape balls on you you have 60 cameras around you capturing your every movement and there's no hair no makeup.

With reality TV sometimes it's amazing chemistry and you get these gems that turn out to be everything you hoped and the camera loves them and they just blossom on the show. And then sometimes it's not all you envision.

No matter how fast I could do it with the digital camera I don't think I would get the same thing out of it. The passion I have for formulating an idea stands alone. It is the important essence of what I do.

I don't like to work with assistants. I'm already one too many the camera alone would be enough.
