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

Long, long before I became a filmmaker I was talking to killers. Filmmaking was an after thought.

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.

I think we get into all kinds of difficulty by saying photographs should be taken in a certain way which guarantees their veracity. I think that's a slippery slope to hell.

You can talk about a caption underneath a photograph being true or false, because there is a linguistic element. You can claim that a photograph is a picture of a horse or a cow, but it is the sentence that expresses the claim, which is true or false, not the photograph.

You know, anything more negative, anything more disparaging, anything more adversarial than what [Donald Trump] does already. The mystery is how he's gotten as far as he's gotten.

Those who cannot condemn the past repeat it in order to remember it.
