The writer must be able to figure out how to limit the effects and still tell the story. Start with one matte shot of the castle, for instance, then go inside and let the rest of the scene play out on two sets. When you have it on the page and people read it, it makes sense to them. On the other hand, if you write the same scene to go inside the castle, out on the parapet walls, back inside through fourteen rooms and end out on the roof, you have just made that same scene four times more expensive, probably without adding a thing dramatically. - James Cameron
There is a hugely underserved population out there... those who are the least capable of paying pay the highest. - James Cameron
There seems to be a lot of excitement around something that, to me, is a yawn, frankly. - James Cameron

You can't be an environmentalist, you can't be an ocean steward without truly walking the walk and you can't walk the walk in the world of the future, the world ahead of us, the world of our children, not eating a plant-based diet. - James Cameron
You have to not listen to the nay sayers because there will be many and often they'll be much more qualified than you and cause you to sort of doubt yourself. - James Cameron
A man must consider what a rich realm he abdicates when he becomes a conformist. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
