The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I'll play in bands and record and play songs with other people but for me it's a form of expression that all I need is me. I don't need cameras or agents I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified.

I've managed to keep a clear head and remain sane in this business because I remain a kid off-camera.

I grew up in the business since I was three years old so I've always kind of been in front of the camera and grew up in commercials and I knew that I wanted to do it no matter what I just loved it.

I was bullied as a kid and I got a job on television. And I had a camera. And so I wanted to go after those business bullies. And I just have been following that instinct.

The camera fails to capture the 'business' in show business! We typically will give 10 percent of our salary to the agent 10 percent to the manager and 5 percent to the lawyer plus the publicist gets a flat fee which needs to be budgeted for.

I love photography. My boyfriend's got a great camera which I bought for his birthday.

Perhaps it sounds ridiculous but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all.

Nothing. We're all friends and friendly. So when the cameras go down depending on the mood or the nature of the material we're dealing with there's usually a kind of a prevailing light attitude that's floating around.

The creative act lasts but a brief moment a lightning instant of give-and-take just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.

And then we watched an amazing number of movies from the late '60s and '70s which is my favorite time and we studied their camera movements their stocks the way they lit stuff the colors they used.
