I like to point out that people very often confuse the idea that truth is subjective with the fact that truth is perishable.

If you asked me what makes the world go round, I would say self-deception. Self-deception allows us to create a consistent narrative for ourselves that we actually believe. I’m not saying that the truth doesn’t matter. It does. But self-deception is how we survive.

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've always wondered where explanations end and excuses begin.

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.

I've had people turn me down. Not all that many, but certainly it happens.

I used to live in New York City, then when my son was two years old we moved to Cambridge Massachusetts and we've been there ever since. My son is now twenty-nine years old, so we've been up there for a while.
