Golf has become so manicured, so perfect. The greens, the fairways. I don't like golf carts. I like walking. Some clubs won't let you in unless you have a caddy and a cart.

The technology available for film-making now is incredible, but I am a big believer that it's all in the story.

If we want energy security, then we have to reduce our appetite for fossil fuels. There's no other way. Other issues may crowd the headlines, but this is our fundamental challenge. Big challenges require bold action and leadership. To get the United States off fossil fuels in this uneasy national climate of terrorism and conflict in the Persian Gulf, we must treat the issue with the urgence and persistance it deserves. The measure of our success will be the condition on which we leave the world for the next generation.

The art of making a film and its content are far more interesting to me than the result or impact.

I'm not interested in a film about golf but I am interested in golf as a metaphor.

I think documentary filmmakers need as much protection as possible under journalist's privilege. How else is the public to know what is going on?

Storytelling is important. Part of human continuity.
