- [on relying on natural light for The Collector (1967)] The film had to have a 'natural' look, whether we wanted it to or not, because we had only five photoflood lamps. [autobiography, "A Man With A Camera", 1984]
- I found out very soon that Terrence Malick was a man who was very much interested in photography, as well as the story and the actors, but that he also knew a lot about photography, which very few directors do. So he not only let me do what I always wanted to do which is to use less and less electrical light on a period film - but even pushed me in this direction. Rather than reconstructing the light, we would be waiting for the right natural light at the right moment. And it was very exciting to work with a man like that.
- You cannot do good photography or stylish photography if the costume designer or the set designer and the rest don't follow.
