Tourism is a mortal sin.

When I film, there are no emotions. That would be the last thing.

If I had to climb into hell and wrestle the devil himself for one of my films, I would do it.

I travel without barely any luggage. Just a second set of underwear and binoculars and a map and a toothbrush.

I'm very, very curious about how people live under the volcano, how they handle the permanence of danger.

However, there are a couple of volcanoes very close nearby, like Vesuvius in Italy right next to Naples.

Our presence on this planet does not seem to be sustainable. Our technical civilization makes up particularly vulnerable. There is talk all over the scientific community about climate change. Many of them [scientists] agree, the end of human life on earth is assured.
