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.

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.

I remember the Neil Young brand hitting me very hard immediately. He wasn't an acquired taste. I loved him immediately.

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

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?

Every film deserves its own unique look.

As a kid, a little kid I loved going to the movies, and now I love making movies.
