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

More quotes by James Cameron
Writing a screenplay, for me, is like juggling. It's like, how many balls can you get in the air at once? All those ideas have to float out there to a certain point, and then they'll crystallize into a pattern.
James Cameron
Broken Horses is an artistic triumph. Beautifully written, acted and imaged, this film wraps slowly around you like a king snake and squeezes.
James Cameron
Usually, when you go to a movie, your consciousness floats above the film. 3D sucks you in and makes it a visceral experience.
James Cameron
Hope is not a strategy. Luck is not a factor. Fear is not an option.
James Cameron
But failure has to be an option in art and in exploration - because it's a leap of faith. And no important endeavor that required innovation was done without risk. You have to be willing to take those risks.
James Cameron
It took me a long time to realize that you have to have a bit of an interlanguage with actors. You have to give them something that they can act with.
James Cameron
Getting the audience to cry for the Terminator at the end of T2, for me that was the whole purpose of making that film. If you can get the audience to feel emotion for a character that in the previous film you despised utterly and were terrified by, then that's a cinematic arc.
James Cameron
Every time my cameras go out on a movie, we learn something new and then we take what we learn and we put it into the next generation of the cameras so we're constantly improving. It's kind of like building a race car, racing it, then running back to the shop and working on the engine some more and tinkering with it to improve it.
James Cameron
Inspiration can hit you in the head at any time in any context. It could happen in a conversation. Talking to someone at a party, you can get an idea. But you've got to remember those inspirations.
James Cameron
I certainly didn't think of myself as gifted. The standards for being gifted in my environment were if you were good in Little League or if you were good in football.
James Cameron
I dreamed I was a soldier who could bring peace. Sooner or later, though, you always have to wake up.
James Cameron
Every time you dive, you hope you'll see something new - some new species. Sometimes the ocean gives you a gift, sometimes it doesn't.
James Cameron
I don't look at scripts. I just write them.
James Cameron
Sometimes your whole life boils down to one insane move.
James Cameron
You know, in the film making business no one ever gives you anything.
James Cameron
There is a hugely underserved population out there... those who are the least capable of paying pay the highest.
James Cameron
Here's my philosophy in life: If there's a fire, you put it out. If there's a flood, you fill sandbags and you build a dike. You roll up your sleeves and you get to work.
James Cameron
Jack: Where to, Miss? Rose: To the stars.
James Cameron
I don't just want to be associated with a few good 3D movies and the audience is saying all of the other ones are crap.
James Cameron
I don’t feel that I’m making movies for iPhones. If someone wants to watch it on an iPhone, I’m not going to stop them, especially if they’re paying for it, but I don’t recommend it. I think it’s dumb, when you have characters that are so small in the frame that they’re not visible. I’m trying to make an epic.
James Cameron
