I'm asked unendingly to become involved in series involving true crime and as it so happens the Netflix series that I'm working on is about a true crime.

The way I go about making a movie... even the ones that are interview-driven, I go into them not knowing what's going to happen, and feeling my way through.

I probably wouldn't have done [ Fred Leuchter story] if it was just a story about an executioner or a holocaust denier, but the combination of the two elements was irresistible. So yeah, I find it strange that there are so many people out there now.

I like to think that one of things I've done with non-fiction since the very beginning is to find new ways of telling true stories.

They say seeing is believing, but the opposite is true. Believing is seeing.

I am profoundly skeptical about our abilities to predict the future in general, and human behavior in particular.

I envy certain writers, because there are writers who do go into a kind of different zone, where the writing isn't controlled anymore.
