The smarter people I know declined to watch the most recent debate [with Donald Trump].

A movie is like a tip of an iceberg, in a way, because so little of what you do in connection with making a movie actually gets into the movie. Almost everything gets left behind.

Basically, "Making a Murderer" chronicles a set of crimes committed in Wisconsin: Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The first crime is a miscarriage of justice. Steven Avery is convicted and sentenced to a very, very long prison sentence for the assault on a woman. And it comes to light through DNA evidence that he was not the assailant.

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.

The fact that the world is utterly insane makes it tolerable.

Appearing on the front page of the New York Times even given the state of papers today is still something that's seen by a lot of people.

The perfect war is started for obscure reasons, is hopelessly murderous, and accomplishes nothing.
