I was very glad later when I was directing that I wasn't in the hands of a cinematographer and hoping that he would do it well. I would know what he was doing, and we could discuss how that scene would look.

When I look around, I begin to understand what Socrates meant when he said, 'How much there is in the world I do not want.'

And later I thought, I can't think how anyone can become a director without learning the craft of cinematography.

I came up the old-fashioned way - tea boy, cutter, focus-puller, cinematographer - but I wasn't myself old-fashioned.

They think something's gone wrong, but in Don't Look Now, for instance, one scene was made by a mistake. It's the scene where Donald Sutherland goes to look for the policeman who's investigating the two women.

I've always thought there was something very marvelous and magical about mirrors, and that they are connected to memory as well.
