In my mind’s eye, I visualize how a particular… sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.
I can’t visualize the situation in which we nuke ourselves into extinction.
I like working with south Indian directors because they are very disciplined. They visualize their entire story and screenplay in their heads even before they start shooting, which I respect. They finish their work on time. Being a disciplinarian myself, this suits my style.

I visualize what I do before I do it. Visualizing makes me better.

You can visualize, and you can try to trick yourself into thinking a certain way. There’s all kinds of things you can do to try to get in the right spot mentally. But at the end of the day, to have real confidence, you’ve got to be doing good at your craft.
It is good to see women doctors and lawyers and executives. I can visualize a woman president. If I were British, I would have supported Margaret Thatcher. But no benefit to anyone can come from women serving in combat.
I visualize things in my mind before I have to do them. It’s like having a mental workshop.
I think that as a director, especially when it comes to writing the script, which I also do, and I’m also the first one to visualize this story, I think contributing to the film industry means I’m able to take the best of a story and translate it well into a movie that can be released in theaters.
I used to walk in the burnt up Harlem of the ’80s, and I’d look at brownstones that were dilapidated or apartment buildings, thinking ‘Whoever designed this and built this did not want it to look like this.’ So, I used to visualize one day being able to contribute and build in Harlem.
Each time you present a tour, you’re faced with these questions of, ‘How do you want to present visual information? How do you want to take the music that we’re making on stage and visualize that?’
When I was covering games, and this is back in the ’60s, you’d go into the manager’s office. I can still visualize Earl Weaver from the Baltimore Orioles. I can just see Earl now in his underwear… with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other, holding court. And that was the way it was done then.
It comes down to something really simple: Can I visualize myself playing those scenes? If that happens, then I know that I will probably end up doing it.

When you think about the scale of human populations all over the world and the fact that there’s so much here, really, the only way to be able to visualize that is to pull back in space… It allows us to see hidden temples and tombs and pyramids and even entire settlements.
If you read a book about school – someone else’s book – you always translate it into your own school experiences.
