I'm used to being behind a camera. That's much more natural for me. But if my life can inspire people, that's what I have to do. My idea is to be of service.

We have African-Americans and black people getting behind the scenes more and more, we get true black images in television and film...because we have black people behind them. They can tell stories from those points of view and bring to life those characters who have yet to be shown. As long as we have people behind the camera just as much as in front of the camera doing the work, then we'll always be good.

Keke Palmer

I've hidden behind the camera my whole life because I much, much, much prefer shooting. Being behind the camera is my safe space, and it's my creative space, too.

Jimmy Chin

I've discovered that being behind the camera is more fascinating. If I had to choose a profession today, it would have been something behind the camera.

Sonali Bendre

I would like to see more films being made with people of color behind the camera and in front of the camera, because the more times at bat we have, the better we get.

Stephanie Allain

The idea, shared by many, that life is a vale of tears, is just as false as the idea shared by the great majority, the idea to which youth and health and riches incline you, that life is a place of entertainment. Life is a place of service, and in that service one has to suffer a great deal that is hard to bear, but more often to experience a great deal of joy. But that joy can be real only if people look upon their life as a service, and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness.

Leo Tolstoy

For me, being a complete artist means not necessarily just being in front of the camera, but being behind the camera or being the originator or creator of something.

Chadwick Boseman

I'm a natural behind the camera... My attentions are more toward behind the scenes, more toward creating, producing, and directing what's going on here... When I finally do pop in front of the lens, I'm genuinely glad and relieved to be there.

David Lee Roth

I'm not a journalist any more. I don't have to stick a microphone up somebody's nostril and I don't have a camera lens behind my shoulder, I think people talk to me in a much franker way.

Gerald Seymour

I require a lot of stimulation, and there's so much I've learned being in front of the camera, I felt like I had more to give behind it.

Ari Graynor

I've always been involved with all aspects of my careers. Being behind the camera seems as natural as in front.

Sarah Brightman

That's really good for an actor - to like the people behind the scenes - because then you treat the camera differently. If you really like someone who's shooting you, you're more open. You're not defensive, you're more relaxed, and I think that translates into a more interesting, natural performance.

Emile Hirsch

I have this personality, where I'm a natural introvert in my personal life, but when you give me a camera and microphone, I have a so much to say.

Eli Drake

I try to attach myself to people who really inspire me, and directors who are really passionate. That way, I can give myself more fully and trust the impulse behind why the film is being made, and I can be a little more irresponsible in finding out what the character is.

Willem Dafoe

Five years ago, we came to the realization that the camera can be used for more than capturing memories. We showed it can be used for talking. The dream for us is expanding the camera and what it can do for your life. It has capabilities beyond making memories.

Evan Spiegel

I do like being in front of the camera more and more. Having experience behind it has taught me about lighting and angles, how to move, and what looks good and what doesn't.

Bella Hadid

I want to be the person who eventually doesn't have to be in front of the camera. I can be behind the camera and really change things cinematically, and this is giving me an opportunity to do something behind the camera, which I really want to maximize.

Jamie Foxx
