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 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.

The world is watching, and you better be fair.

You have to remain open to the situation that you're filming otherwise you might miss the story.

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 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.

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.
