Camera Quotes

Vera Farmiga

Time, Children, Game

I remember the beginnings of the Kurzweil reading machine. I was one of the first to meet Ray Kurzweil and purchase the reading machine in Boston. To think that the machine was at least two and a half large suitcases at the time, and now you have a camera and it takes a picture and you have sound.
Stevie Wonder

Time, Remember, Two

I'm very in love with the fact that the camera is revolted by acting and loves behaviour.
Ben Kingsley

Love, Acting, Fact

I think I'm becoming more relaxed in front of a camera. I suppose I'll always feel slightly more at home on stage. It's more of an actor's medium. You are your own editor, nobody else is choosing what is being seen of you.
Michael Sheen

Home, Else, Actor

I like having the digital camera on my smart phone, but I also like having a dedicated camera for when I want to take real pictures.
Jeff Bezos

Smart, Real, Pictures

No baby boomer has a completely original idea, but after 13 years on 'Today' and another 11 on 'Dateline,' almost 30 years total at NBC, I felt the urge to find out what was 'behind the camera.' I had the feeling there was 'something more,' though 'more' might be less.
Jane Pauley

Today, Feeling, Find

After, Acting, Else

Minor White

Time, Enough, Sun

When you're an actor or actress in this business, usually the natural progression is to direct, but a lot of times, we don't get a chance to get to it. Myself, I really want to get into it. I want to be the person who eventually doesn't have to be in front of the camera.
Jamie Foxx

Business, Person, Chance

In looking at Hollywood and its structure, the director controls the medium, and I want to be in control of certain things. I want to be able to get my own ideas and my own feelings out there, and the only way to do that is to be behind the camera.
Jamie Foxx

Feelings, Control, Able

But don't get caught out there looking goofy. It's weird. When you do something that stinks, it's going to last forever on the Internet. There's always someone in the audience with a camera phone and if you're not 100%, you're going to be watching yourself on YouTube.
Jamie Foxx

Yourself, Someone, Last

Each new film is like a trial. Before I step in front of the camera, I do not know whether I am going to fall or whether I am going to fly - and that is exactly the way I want it to stay.
Juliette Binoche

Before, Film, Whether

Well, getting behind the camera is something I've always wanted to get involved with. Ever since I was doing movies like 'Zathura' I was very interested in all the different jobs on set and kind of soaking all the information up like a sponge.
Josh Hutcherson

Movies, Different, Wanted

Joan Crawford

Else, Born, Front

Bear Grylls

Down, Broken, Once

You don't want to be the guy whose back's to the camera in the emotional part of the movie. So, you have to be aware of the camera movement and what the camera's doing.
Russell Crowe

Emotional, Guy, Movie

Person, Others, Seem

Manuel Puig

Makes, Literature, Clear

Ian Somerhalder

Every time you get on a stage or in front of a camera, the whole exercise is about imagination. You're constantly depicting something that doesn't exist, and trying to find the reality of it. Once you settle on that premise, everything else is a matter of degrees.
Ron Perlman

Time, Reality, Everything

I hate cameras. I hate cameras and I hate camera phones. The camera's my worst enemy and my best friend. It's the way I convey my emotions to the world without saying a word, so I use it. People always say, 'You come alive as soon as the camera's on!'
Nicki Minaj

Best, Hate, Enemy

Anna Kendrick

Life, Hope, Thinking

Anna Kendrick

Nature, Thinking, Place

I've done panel shows, which I enjoy, and on those you're recording half-an-hour of TV and sometimes they film for two hours.

David Walliams

Done, Enjoy, Two
