If a concert film is an experience of the musicianship without critiquing it, then this, too, is dropping you into a world and letting you experience it.

My attitude is, I am not a lawyer; I am not a doctor; I am not a scientist. I am a filmmaker and I want to present what each side is saying and let the viewer come to their own conclusion.

I like to blow up stereotypes, like taking the icons of metal, the epitome of male testosterone and showing them as regular people.

Any documentary; any capturing of a non-fiction event, is a hyper-realistic condensation of reality that hopefully reveals an emotional truth. It's never the actual literal truth of an event.

The world is watching, and you better be fair.

One of the great ironies of my career is that people imagine me as some sort of hardcore metal guy because of the Metallica film.

I mean, "The Jinx" is an amazing piece of cinema and amazing television moment, it`s rare documentarians can feel the direct impact of their work.
