"It is the quality of light that is one...of many things that contribute to the magic of a picture, that makes you feel 'that's beautiful. That's got it.' And you know when something doesn't have it because by contrast it goes dead and doesn't work. It doesn't have that light. It doesn't have that je ne sais quoi."
