About this Quote
This quote by James Cameron paints a vibrant picture of his childhood home. He matured in a small town of only 2,000 people in Canada. The town was surrounded by water, with a little river going through it. This river was likely a source of home entertainment for the young Cameron, as he points out that he and his good friends swam in it. The town was also near to Niagara Falls, which was just four or five miles away. This proximity to such a stunning natural marvel likely supplied Cameron with a sense of awe and marvel. The quote paints a lovely image of a village surrounded by nature, and it is easy to imagine the young Cameron exploring and taking pleasure in the area.
"The opportunity to create a small world between two pieces of cardboard, where time exists yet stands still, where people talk and I tell them what to say, is exciting and rewarding"
