There`s a fine line between balanced journalism and trial by television.

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 a filmmaker who is known for these ambiguous portraits that tell multiple sides of the story without really telling the audience what to think.

I felt like the universe was tapping me on the shoulder saying, "You're the guy who has to tell this story because nobody else is."

The Metallica film was like this incredible life experience where I learned the most through guys that stereotypically you would think couldn't offer much to you. That's what I love about the film: It explodes your stereotype of them - they're not just a bunch of lugheads banging on the guitar.

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.

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.
