I'm better at being a lawyer than I am at being a writer.

There is a lot of silence in watching somebody trying to remember things.

Sometimes you are ahead of people and sometimes people have blind spots. They can't see the world and they can't see what they do.

We all have a family and I think we all have a perception of our family that we like to keep and we all have our positive memories in a certain way. Then when life catches up to them, when you see a different perspective of them, or when you are a couple degrees over, you can see things differently and it shakes you to the foundation.

I believe that sitting naked across from your adversary in a steam room makes negotiations more productive.

I don't necessarily believe in the ideology of cinema verité. I think by the very fact that you have a camera there you are affecting the story and you are influencing it.

I always expose the apparatus. I show how the film was made. I acknowledge the filmmaker and the filmmaking.
