I used to work as a private detective years and years ago.

This uses a lens system, which I have used for years in various different ways, but I've never used it in the context of an interview. This is the very first time that I've done that. It's a lens called The Revolution, so it allowed me to interview Elsa [Dorfman] and actually operate the camera. Well one of the cameras, because there were four cameras there.

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

Long, long before I became a filmmaker I was talking to killers. Filmmaking was an after thought.

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.

We live in a very litigious society. I've never sued anybody. I certainly can imagine a situation where I might sue, but it seems more or less in bad taste.

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