Boy, am I glad there wasn't a fourth episode of Lord of the Rings.

I like engineering, but I love the creative input.

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.

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 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.

I think that era of mechanically figuring out of how to bring a particular evocative image to the screen was a really important part of my education.

It's easy to create something that has a lot of luster, but it's very hard to make something that has a lot of depth.

Breathing meditation can quiet the mind, open the body, and develop a great power of concentration.

Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.

If I'm a lousy writer, then an awful lot of people have lousy taste.

It's outrageous. It's ridiculous. And 'twas ever thus. We all watched James Bond as he got more and more geriatric, and his girlfriends got younger and younger. It's so annoying.

I'm a really huge John Prine fan; I love his clever conversationalist songs.

You've gotta know happy. You've gotta know sad. 'Cause you're gonna know lonely and you're gonna know sad

Love and spiritual values received from parents are the strongest assets for a child to face the various trials of adulthood.

Never say no. It always depends on what's possible. I don't care so much where it is; it's what I want to do that matters.

Beware the man who has two faces and two hearts.
