Camera Quotes

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

Juliette Binoche

Before, Film, Whether

Wayne Rooney

Person, Others, Seem

The camera relieves us of the burden of memory. It surveys us like God, and it surveys for us. Yet no other god has been so cynical, for the camera records in order to forget.
John Berger

God, Forget, Memory

I learned everything from that show, so it's just a wonderful memory to me. A lot of people would be embarrassed to admit that they were on 'Barney', but I embrace the fact. I just had such a wonderful time doing that show... I learned what a camera and prop is, and all that. I learned my manners too, so I guess that's a good thing!
Selena Gomez

Time, Good, Learned

To not be self-conscious of your appearance is huge, and something that I desperately hope to carry into film at some point in my useless life - to not be thinking, 'My ear looks weird from this angle, why is the camera over there?'
Anna Kendrick

Life, Hope, Thinking

I like figuring out where I need to be mentally so that I'm not thinking about the camera and that it's second nature. I want to get to a place where I can exist within the confines of what you can do with filmmaking and not have to think about it.
Anna Kendrick

Nature, Thinking, Place

I want to try to talk like normal people talk, not just stand there and bark at the camera.
Bob Schieffer

Try, Talk, Stand

Albert Brooks

Mind, Sometimes, Actor

Andy Cohen

Live, After, Wanted

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, Trying

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
