“There are a thousand ways to point a camera, but really only one.” — Ernst Lubitsch Quote

“There are a thousand ways to point a camera, but really only one.”

“I let the audience use their imaginations. Can I help it if they misconstrue my suggestions?”

“I've been to Paris France and I've been to Paris Paramount. Paris Paramount is better.”

“I can often tell when drawings are done from photographs, because you can tell what they miss out, what the camera misses out: usually weight and volume - there's a flatness to them.”

“Having been on the other side of the camera gives me such perspective on what I'm doing.”

“But the moment you use an ordinary camera, you are not seeing the picture, remember, meaning, you had to remember what you've taken. Now you could see it of course, with a digital thing, but remember in 1982 you couldn't.”
