The chance that any given sentence is a lie, rather than a truth, I think, is fairly great. An intentional lie, a self-deception, a misconception - there are lots of categories of untruth, not one grab bag. And hotographs can reveal something to us, and they can also conceal things.

Truth and falsity is something that concerns language, it's a property of language.

You can't tell by looking at a film-clip whether it is a drama or a documentary without knowing how it was produced.

Twenty to thirty years ago, who was making documentary films? Nobody. Well, relatively few people. It was an art form that had limited theatrical distribution, if any at all. Some television distribution, but relatively small audiences regardless. And in the intervening years it's become more and more popular with a lot of people.

There are many dramas that I would like to make: dramas based on real stories. It's approaching things from the other side.

There is such a thing as truth, but we have a vested interest in not seeing it, in avoiding it.

Ecstatic absurdity: it's the confrontation with meaninglessness.
