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."

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.
