Tourism is a mortal sin.

What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.

My non-fiction films are pretty much fiction, or at least close... It's all "movies" for me. I never have searched for a subject. They always just come along. They never come by way of decision-making. They just haunt me. I can't get rid of them. I did not invite them.

I have always postulated that we have to find a new way to deal with reality. It's not so much facts that interest me, but a deeper truth in them - an ecstasy of truth, an ecstatic truth that illuminates us. That's what I've been after.

I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature.

It's all movies for me. And besides, when you say documentaries, in my case, in most of these cases, means "feature film" in disguise.

I had complete freedom. They [Netflix] knew roughly what I was doing.
