I was very fortunate to be an operator on some marvelous movies, like Jaws and [The] Godfather. And that... all the stuff I did with Gordy [Gordon Willis] I did because Gordy chose me, and his career just exploded into all those movies, and he just took me along in his wake, you know. And I got to operate in Klute, in The Godfather, and all those things. It was wonderful. It was heavenly. And, as I think I said before, Gordy and I worked out a whole... won't give it too pompous a name, but... not an aesthetic, but a way of looking and a way of framing that we both were totally happy with and agreed on entirely. And so I... he trusted me and we did it, and we had a wonderful time, and... I know I've said all this before – that operating is far and away the most wonderful and sexiest job in the... in the movie industry, as far as I'm concerned. It's just marvelous and I had a wonderful time doing it. As to how much it affected my later career, or certainly as a director, or something, I don't know. I'm not so sure that I could make that connection in any conscious way. I mean, it is... it is a form of storytelling, certainly.
