Life is much more complex than the black-and-white sound bites that you get on television. There are nuances and shades of gray.

I don`t know the facts surrounding Andrew Jarecki`s work. I think it`s a triumph of television. But it does raise troubling issues that I think we as a documentary community, you know, need to address.

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.

If people spend two hours thinking about the direction of their own lives and can relate to the stories they see on screen, to me that's a success.

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.
