Personal Quote:

[on his use of tracking shots throughout his 50-year career] There's always a certain amount of camera improvisation. If a man is being pursued and the pursuers are more interesting than the pursued, I'll track to include them. Things would occur on the set and sometimes ahead of time. They turn you loose on the set. See more »
