It's a creative enterprise, just like art, just like painting, music. Creating something can be done in different categories, so to do it in film is just another expression, which is great. Because it translates so well because so many people see the work, if you're lucky.

I'm gonna die but I haven't thought about retiring.

You work like hell to get yourself ahead in the business. You could go anywhere before, and suddenly you can't go anywhere. It's like being a cartoon character.

Like all actors, I was open to taking on new challenges, including those outside my comfort zone.

I think independent filmmakers, documentary filmmakers - they are journalists.

Lastly get emotionally connected to your story so you can deliver it, you know, if you can't deliver the emotions to your script there's no point to your story. Story is the key.

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?
