If you can imagine it, we can make it.

I had done a lot of rock 'n' roll photography when I was in college. I was one of many photographers who worked for The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, and all of these rock 'n' roll bands.

I like engineering, but I love the creative input.

We stayed there 24 hours a day. We lived and ate and slept that movie. We were enthusiastic, not just because of the movie, but because we had such a great collaborative team. We had a really good time. It was very much a family.

It's an embarrassment of riches because you have directors who don't better. You end up with so much stuff going on the screen that you don't know where to look, and that's what I consider self-indulgent.

Once the image was in the digital environment, one of the problems was, we had no means to reproduce the color spectrum, grey scale, and contrast that film produces, without converting the digital file to film, evaluating it, then going back and changing the digital image.

Film, as far as I'm concerned, is my area of artistic endeavor, so I never think of a movie that gets released as being all done-it's just when they took it away from you.

As with sound, images are subjective. You and I may not see the same color red as red, but we will probably agree that the image on the screen is a digital image or film image, based on contrast, bit depth, and refresh rate.

You had to make a camera look like it's traveling at 300 mph, but you couldn't make it actually travel at 300 mph so you had to slow everything down and build devices to do that. So you were constantly engineering.

It's very much like filmmaking always is-you're always asked to do something that you're not sure you know how to do. So you make an educated guess as to what you think will work and you hope between that and plan B, that you can end up with a product that's really good.

I was involved in the color correction and the digital color correction. In an odd way, you end up making a film many times-the DVD, the archival record of a high-definition master, and so on.

In the first Spider-Man, at the end of the movie, Peter Parker had to deny himself a relationship with a girl that he's in love with. The very next thing that happens is that he's swinging through the city.

Because I come from that old-school optics environment, I know stuff about depth of field and camera movement and things that are not necessarily a part of the curriculum for people who started on a box and have never done anything that wasn't on a box.

If you can imagine it, we can make it.

Digital imaging has untied our hands with regards to technical limitations. We no longer have to be arbiters of technology; we get to participate in the interpretation of technology into creative content.

George Lucas wanted this moving camera for all of the photography in Star Wars. He was willing to take a risk with the concepts that I advanced with regard to ways for doing that.

I got into New College, Oxford. The ethos was that you could work - or not.

I've made a point of not being, say what I refer to as a 'careerist' about anything.

No matter how much we disagree with people, demonising them doesn't get us anywhere; it merely indicates a closed mind.

Beethoven was a deeply political man in the broadest sense of the word. He was not interested in daily politics, but concerned with questions of moral behaviour and the larger questions of right and wrong affecting the entire society.

Background checks, waiting periods, reports of transfers, and access to mental health records have not stopped the legal sale of firearms to legitimate buyers.

The laws of probability, so true in general, so fallacious in particular.

I love doing impressions and I love doing accents.

I think women want to look beautiful. I think that's an important thing. It is relevant.

Sometimes, an afternoon spent in bed with someone can be the most important thing in the universe.

The coniferous forests of the Yosemite Park, and of the Sierra in general, surpass all others of their kind in America, or indeed the world, not only in the size and beauty of the trees, but in the number of species assembled together, and the grandeur of the mountains they are growing on.

I am not a sun person at all. I think it's a cancerous poison and I don't want it touching me.

I got into writing to become a 'Star Trek' writer. I was a rabid fan. I had shelves and shelves and shelves of action figures in my bedroom that scared away more dates than I care to admit to.

For God's sake build not your faith upon Tradition, 'tis as rotten as a rotten Post.

I don't think meals have any business being deductible. I'm for separation of calories and corporations.

I don't get to watch a lot of TV. I just do all my news and reading and 'Meet the Press,' all that fun, exciting stuff.

I write about things that are important for us as Americans. I'm concerned about al-Qaeda sneaking across the border with the illegal immigrants that are using the coyotes to get across the border. And that's not a Democrat or Republican issue, that's a national security issue.

I started being a comedy fan when I was, I'm going to guess, like 5 or 6 years old.

Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distresses of every one and let your hand give in proportion to your purse remembering always the estimation of the widows mite but that it is not every one who asketh that deserveth charity all however are worthy of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.

To touch a sore is to renew one's grief.

Theres something so real about holding hands some kind of complex simplicity saying so much by doing so little. I love it.

The Informe should no longer be the scene used to insult, beat, and criticize on the basis of preconfigured conceptions.

I have an old car that I've rebuilt myself - a 1973 Dodge Challenger - and I also have a 1967 Pontiac GTO.

A lot of people say the sitcom is dead. I think they're right to some extent, in that the shows they're putting out are all the same.

The press Yazoo were receiving were focused on the voice, This obviously was about trends.
