Famous quotes by Matthew Modine:

"That the only person who can save you is yourself. The only person you can really forgive is you."

"My diary is a kind of heart-of-darkness story, both (his character) Private Joker's story and my story — of a young man leaving his home and his country and going to meet this very unexpected experience."

"I always knew I would do something special with my memories of working with Stanley."

"Stanley didn't shy away from true humanity or from the ugliness that all people are capable of."

"Stanley Kubrick the man turned out to be very gentle,"

"I had always kept a daily journal,"

"My father taught me to paint when I was young with watercolors and so I learned at a very young age the essential elements of the value of light and composition."

"We should all aspire in life to do a multitude of things well - to be a great father, to be a good husband, to be a good lover, you know, to try to do things the best you can is very important to me."

"I always thought that it was kind of silly that a baseball card could be worth so much money."

"It was the baseball fantasy of a lifetime - to be able to sit on the bench with all those professional athletes. I got to take my son along because I wasn't sure I would be able to play with them."

"If you take 2001: A Space Odyssey as an example of somebody who creates a new language in film by what he was able to accomplish with art direction, photography, lighting, etc., it is still a gold standard for science fiction."

"Photography is about light and what it does and how it is captured on a piece of negative."

"They don't have the news media set up in Africa that we do in the United States, where televisions are so accessible and newspapers and magazines are able to educate people."

"There's a discipline. When you take someone's portrait, you don't have to take 50 photographs, just find that one so that when you release the shutter, that's the image that you took."

"I've worked with Robert Altman a couple of times too."

"For example, Michael Mann's film Collateral - there is certain kinds of stories that lend themselves to digital photography. Some things are very raw stories that digital photography kind of lends itself to."

"I don't think that digital photography is romantic yet. It's not sympathetic the way that film is."

"I never set out to be rich and famous. I wanted to follow my own path."

"So the thing that's beautiful about the Rolleiflex is that I open the camera up from the top and put my face in and that the camera's all about composition and all about light."
