But there's a big difference between, say, reporting on a story and simply making up a story.

Right now, we live in bad times in this country, and the fact that there are filmmakers addressing political and social issues is to me a good thing.

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.

In fact, part of the Netflix series is drama.Beyond re-enactments. Why not invent something new?

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

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.

Maybe [killers] is one of my real passions. Why deny it?
