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.

There is only one direction. (Down.) There is only one color. (Black.) And there is only one number (Zero.)

Film is lies at twenty-four frames a second.

When you start talking about the known knowns and the unknown unknowns, you're thrown into a crazy meta-level discussion. Do I know what I know, do I know what I don't know, do I know what I don't know I don't know. It becomes a strange, Lewis Carroll - like nursery rhyme.

It's pretty clear that fame isn't inextricably connected with merit .

I don't believe that you can talk about a photograph being true or false. I don't think such a claim has any meaning.

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