I will never lose anything that an audience will miss.I turned things that were scripted as effects into in-camera stuff, which is sexier.

The possibility of being as free with the camera as we are with the pen is a fantastic prospect for the creative life of the 21st century.

Good acting is thinking in front of the camera. I just do that and apply a sense of humor to it. You have to trust the audience to get it.

When I'm on set, I'm always waiting around for people to move the cameras so I can try to squeeze in press-ups and sit-ups between scenes.

That's the time that I enjoy: away from the cameras, away from the audience, the scenery of going out to eat and everybody's staring at me.

I've had cameras on me since I started the art of fighting and I think that I'm used to having cameras on me in adrenaline-type situations.

I love what I do and being in front of the camera. But I never want to limit myself to just one thing and just venture out into new things.

I had no choice. It was just something that happened. I was always looking for ways to act out, and I got a camera and it acted out for me.

I like making little videos and little records. I've always loved video cameras and four-track cassette recorders, still cameras, anything.

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.

Stunts are my favourite - I love it: the feeling, the adrenaline when all the cameras are rolling and everyone is watching and crowd round.

I'll be gray by the time I'm 30, but I like my hair. It looks shiny. I like the way it looks when those highlights are picked up on camera.

I'm up at the crack of dawn. If I'm filming, then I'll wake at 5 A.M. so that I can get on set and made up before the cameras start rolling.

Sometimes a camera comes out and people freeze up a little, and I'm like that with normal cameras, but with a film camera, I feel different.

You're in the gym eight hours a day; you're not preparing for cameras and running around and doing tour stops and making acting appearances.

I'd like to direct myself but I'm a cinephile and I also would like to just step behind the camera and be on the other end of making movies.

If the guy behind the camera is not good, the pictures are bad. It's still you, and it's the same lines and everything, but it doesn't work.

I think Instagram at its best is where you feel like you're getting the most authentic version of the person on the other side of the camera.

Often the last thing I want to do is stand up in front of 50 cameras on the red carpet. I'd rather have a cup of hot milk and an early night.

Yeah, well I've had a record deal for a long time so I'm kinda used to the cameras and the people, I'm used to dealing with peoples' opinions.

If you want to get known as a singer you hire five sexy chicks and let them fight over you onstage and for the cameras. That's publicity, man.

My first concern is that when you go to a show, you should be present. It's much more exciting to put the camera down and lose yourself in it.

I always say that I've been in a bad mood for maybe 35 years now. I try to lighten it up, but that's what comes out when you get me on camera.

The camera gave me an incredible freedom. It gave me the ability to parade through the world and look at people and things very, very closely.

The Court's objection to cameras may be much more a product of history and process than an unwillingness to be placed in the public spotlight.

What very often happens when people make films about rich people, the camera is quite mesmerised by the opulence and quite theatrical in fact.

I don't hide from cameras or anything. It doesn't bother me. I don't seek our press for the women I'm dating, but if it finds me, it finds me.

Bruce Willis. Pain in my ass, no problem about that. We just didn't get along. We got along off camera, but shooting we just didn't get along.

If you have what you want to say inside, and if you are crying for something that is true inside, it doesn't matter. The camera always sees it.

How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners, and instant cameras teach patience to its young?

I don't know if I always want to be in front of the camera. I love producing, I love the camaraderie. I love the adventures. I love the stress.

I tend to want to go quite big in my acting, which you just cannot do in front of a camera. It's taken me a while to learn how to pull it back.

Create your own path. Cultivate it. It'll take time. It doesn't happen overnight. I was an actor for many years before I got behind the camera.

I don't really believe in the mystery of cinematography - what happens in the camera is what the cinematographers create and all that nonsense.

One good thing about TV is, if you die violently, God forbid, on camera, you will not have died in vain because you will be great entertainment.

I was to be a photographer and that was that. It did everything for me. I love people. I needed the camera more than ever I would have believed.

The camera is more than a recorder, it's a microscope. It penetrates, it goes into people and you see their most private and concealed thoughts.

When I look at pictures I have made, I have forgotten what I saw in front of the camera and respond only to what I am seeing in the photographs.

The camera is not merely a reflecting pool and the photographs are not exactly the mirror, mirror on the wall that speaks with a twisted tongue.

I get my flow from Daddy, my singing ability from Mommy, the camera stuff from both. That's just what happens when you hang out with the Smiths.

You learn a lot about acting and being physical and being on stage, but there is technical stuff on camera that you can't learn until you do it.

Cameras should be the norm everywhere. It should be in every courtroom so that the proceedings are taken down and recorded just like stenography.

No matter how much you rehearse on that stage, once you add 30,000 screaming people with flashing cameras into the equation, it's pretty intense.

The first movies, they just put up a camera and had a train come into a train station, and everybody was amazed. That was sort of all technology.

In animation, there's silly things I get to do with my voice. I get to have a wider range, so my voice gets to dance more than it does on camera.

I think at this point, I'd eventually like to work behind the camera. That's not to say I would never act again, I'm not quite sure to be honest.

When I do work, I get so much done in such a concentrated time that once I’m through a series, I’m so drained I don’t want to get near the camera.

I'm used to having big movie cameras in my face, I pretend that they're not there. But I actually like being on my own, I like being in the space.

The camera can represent flesh so superbly that, if I dared, I would never photograph a figure without asking that figure to take its clothes off.

I’m always secretly the most pleased when a show just really, really looks good and when my camera guys are really happy with the images they got.
