The reward is that you can actually create a world separate from reality with a story, actors, music, and camera design. When it works it can entertain, move people and teach us all.
Colleen Atwood

You know, the camera is not meant just to show misery.
Gordon Parks

It was a scene I was really looking forward to, and one that I embraced, and when we were filming it, George got closer and closer and closer with that camera - he was practically up my nose for the final shot. So I knew it was a moment that I had to do my best to get right.
Ian McDiarmid

When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.
William H. Macy

In the editing room, 20 percent of the time you're using stuff from before the actor knew the camera was rolling or you're taking a line from somewhere else and putting it in his mouth.
Campbell Scott

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

When you're in front of the camera, for a small budget or a big budget movie, there's no difference.
Monica Bellucci

For an actress there is no greater gift than having a camera in front of you, listening to the most beautiful music in the world and just being looked at!
Isabelle Huppert

Motion-picture studio floors used to be all wooden and not smooth at all. This was difficult when moving a camera around on a dolly.
Desi Arnaz

Life came in and put me in front of the camera before I could really make a decision, but I think I probably would have gravitated to film.
Elisabeth Rohm

I guess people wonder if I'm the same on camera as I am off, and I'm pretty much the same, I really am. But that's always asked of me.
Regis Philbin

If it's stage, the two most important artists are the actor and the playwright. If it's film, THE most important person is the director. The director says where the camera goes.
Brad Dourif

Oh yeah - I watched Knife in the Water, saw the shot, and repeated it. But even if I hadn't seen that film, inevitably the camera would've ended up on top of that mast, I mean if you think of it there are only so many dynamic shots on a boat.
Phillip Noyce

The camera introduces us to unconscious optics as does psychoanalysis to unconscious impulses.
Walter Benjamin

In my hand luggage I always have my camera, iPod, make-up bag, tooth brush, cleansing products, clean underwear, socks and a change of clothes in case anything goes missing at the other end - and of course my passport.
Lisa Snowdon

Well, I think the camera freedom is something that we've resisted for a long time and feels like probably the biggest stretch. But it has some huge benefits.
Will Wright

I'm not so funny. Gilda was funny. I'm funny on camera sometimes. In life, once in a while. Once in a while. But she was funny. She spent more time worrying about being liked than anything else.
Gene Wilder

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.
Matthew Vaughn

When I have a camera in my hand, I know no fear.
Alfred Eisenstaedt

My two boys were the same ages as the kids in the show. In real life or in between the breaks I was raising two kids off camera who were not unlike the two kids who were being paid to be my kids.
