Despite the limitations of the bulky 16mm camera and 10-minute film magazines, 'The Anderson Platoon' feels as spontaneous and fresh as any films that have come out of the Afghan or Iraq wars.

In 'Purab Aur Paschim', Manoj Kumar offered me a meaningful cameo. He directed me efficiently and I was able to improve on my histrionics and appeared more confident in front of the movie camera.

Giving a camera to Diane Arbus is like putting a live grenade in the hands of a child.

My normal way of filming something is, like, one camera, very well planned out, knowing exactly how we're going to get each shot.

The stage and working in front of a camera are two completely different mediums. Each requires different techniques.

I also know what looks good before the camera, how to move the camera, and how to get a story on the screen.

Rabid fans were literally jumping into the camera.

To be a series regular for two seasons taught me so much about what it takes to be on a TV schedule and work those kind of hours and just work in front of a camera in general.

Most movies use older actors, but I thought, if I could just put kids on camera and get them to be themselves, what could be easier?

I have been around for more than 30 years and it has been quite a journey. It had its glorious moments on camera and painful moments off camera.

I really love being onstage - that's kind of home base - but I love the camera, too. I love it all.

I'm an actor. Whether I'm on stage, in front of a camera or a microphone, what I do is the same - although with videogames it requires a lot of imagination.

I didn't really understand what you did when you went in front of the camera. And then suddenly I just understood it. When you're in a play, you carry the story, but you don't have to do that in film.

I wasn't trained to be in front of a camera, so there were a lot of challenges at first. But I didn't want to be fake.

As an actress I have faced the camera a lot many times but you always feel nervous before the first shot.

I've picked a camera up a few times. I remember buying my first camera when I was about 18 and really going wild with it, as you do as an 18-year-old, especially when you're in college.

I'd worked in music for years and built all these relationships, so I bought a camera, built a website, and decided to go for it.

There's always a certain amount of camera improvisation.

I've fallen down crevasses, been bitten by snakes, been knocked unconscious, had various limbs broken and once, a heavy camera came plunging down which very nearly decapitated me.

I think I'm better behind the camera than I am in front.
