I'm addicted to when people are bringing you around their country, telling you their stories. They become so enthusiastic, so passionate.

When I was a child, I acted like child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

I came to America from Canada because Canada is stultifyingly boring and incredibly hypocritical.

The greatest propaganda coup of the American right has been to convince its citizens that we are in the grip of a liberal conspiracy.

You have to make those mistakes. You have to do the work. You have to fail. I also realized that I should practice what I preach, which is that if you only do get one kick at the can . . . When you go to places like Africa or Asia or the Indian sub-continent, you realize that a lot of the people there don't ever get a kick at the can. There are no "kicks" at the can - you just don't have that shot.

You have to be dynamic. You have to be able to change. So a lot of times we'll go to a country or go meet people, and then while we're there, the story changes and you have to be able to go with that. And then the story comes out in the editing room, which is a very documentary sort of process - not how news works. So that's different.
