Maybe today I would call Fred Leuchter and there would be two or three other documentary filmmakers interested in his story simply because of the exposure.

It's so much easier to make a movie about someone who is so likeable that you just want to get out of the way.

The proper route to an understanding of the world is an examination of our errors about it.

You can't really trust anybody who doesn't talk a lot, because how would you know what they're thinking?

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it without a sense of ironic futility.

I remember on page one of The New York Times the article about Fred Leuchter. The heading was "Can Capital Punishment Be Humane" and it was the story about an electric chair repairman and execution machine designer. And then buried in the back of the paper was the fact that Fred Leuchter had also been involved in holocaust denial.

We have more information - a glut of information - than ever before, and perhaps less knowledge. That's what's peculiar. And the only way you can deal with it, I suppose, is to make fun of it. I would rather watch Comedy Central for the news than I'd like to watch any other program on television. Maybe that shows you the state of affairs.
