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.

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.

I never believe I'm presenting objective reality; I also don't want to delude people into thinking that my subject is talking directly to them.

I'm an observer in life, not a participant. That's why I'm a documentarian who looks through a camera. I'm not a touchy-feely person; I'm not a seminar person.

What you hope, what you're trusting the filmmaker to do, is to capture the emotional truth of the situation.

The world is watching, and you better be fair.
