Maybe that's where the new art comes in - to somehow have your eye on the marketplace and harness your art to come up with something you can be proud of creatively.

I also feel that the only thing more gratifying than working with someone who you've worked well with is working with someone new and coming up with something great.

It's such a rich experience when you enter into a subject from a documentary point of view. It's hard for fiction to compete with that.

Every film deserves its own unique look.

I had very strong feelings, so the chance to make a film that deals in an imaginative way with stuff you care tremendously about is a real high. It's a really amazing thing to be able to do.

Documentaries - my God, there is so much going on in our country and in the world today that every time you open the newspaper or turn on the radio or watch the news on TV there is another documentary subject. We're getting the headlines for a second, shaped by corporate delivery most of the time, but what's really the story there?

I don't think of Storefront Hitchcock or Stop Making Sense as documentaries, I think of them more as performance films.
