You have to study composition to understand that things can be done backwards and forwards and upside down, inverted, but it's mainly just an inner valid intuitive thing. Where do you want to go?

Fast, slow, thick or thin or what have you. And it's the same with improvisation. — Terry Bozzio
Because I'm Parisian, I wanted to show a Paris that I don't see at the movies, so I spent a lot of time looking for places that have never been filmed, for streets that have never been filmed because there's a thing about Paris, where it's kind of like a charming music box, this luminous cocoon, like those things that have fake snow in them that you turn upside down. — Louis Garrel

It's not really an insane view, at least I hope it's not. — Brad Warner

And it was one of the most difficult things I've ever shot. — Len Wiseman
The hardest thing in the world is being a critic of your own work. For me time has always been the best critic.

It's about a lot of different things. — Michelle Forbes
