37 Quotes by Matthew Modine

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.

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

I bought all the stuff, but nothing was as satisfying to me as using the Rolleiflex because it was one shot.

The experience of using a Rolleiflex camera is very different than using a SLR.

Think of Frank Capra and Preston Sturges. They used the same actors over and over again.

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.

You hope and pray that you'll get involved with a director that you understand and who has the same sensibility as you do and knows how to push you and bring out the best in you.
