Personal Quote:

[on his love of lighting with China balls] I've been using China balls for 30 years. I've used a huge amount of them. That's the secret of the economic success of China is me buying China balls. (laughs) I used them before everybody else and it took about ten years (for other cinematographers to) understand that those things are very, very useful. [2016] See more »
