It is unfortunate that the poor judgment shown by a small group of young actors has tarnished the reputation of every child who has ever appeared before a camera.
People who are good at film have a relationship with the camera.
You learn a lot about acting and being physical and being on stage, but there is technical stuff on camera that you can't learn until you do it.
I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks.
There are certain men and women who, from the minute they step in front of a camera, that's exactly where they belong. Connery's one.
I can't hold a camera anymore.
As actors, we went where we wanted to, and the camera followed us: it was like having another person in the room. There was no formal structure to the process. It was very liberating.
It's an incredible privilege for an actor to look into the camera. It's like looking right into the heart of the film, and you can't take that lightly.
A strange thing happens to me that I'm sure happens to a lot of actors when the camera starts rolling. I'm not 'me' any more.

I don't like camera trickery and editing and doubles and all of that.
Your camera is the best critic there is. Critics never see as much as the camera does. It is more perceptive than the human eye.
I believe in living with the camera, and not using the camera.
I feel more comfortable in front of a camera than anywhere else.
When the camera starts to roll, there is something of death about it.
I realized the exciting place was behind the camera with the producer, director and so on.
The camera is a kind of license.
The camera is cruel, so I try to be as good as I can to make things even.
At some level, you've got to have the ability to - especially in film and in front of the camera, you got to have the ability to drop into character and close off the entire crew and the camera and everything else.
I have a thing with the camera. The lens is unconditional. It doesn't judge you.
You get to the middle of a take that's going really well and the camera will run out of film. They have to stop you, apologize and then you've got to get things going all over again.
