We have to articulate ourselves. Otherwise we would be cows in the field.

When the camera is looking back at our planet Earth, it's the tiniest of specks somewhere out there in the universe. So we do have a new sense of proportion. Of course the volcanoes and the magma under us just remind us of that.

I think a state should not be in the capacity of killing anyone with the exception of warfare.

There's this kind of strange mythology about me in the media because I've done unusual things.

The daredevil aspect to what I did there is moving a monstrously big ship over a mountain in the jungle of Peru with 800 or 900 or so native people from the area. So that idea was wild but the way it was executed was prudent. Nobody was ever hurt and when it became clear that we had to be more secure with the posts that would hold the ship, I spent 12 days having a post built that would have withstood the force of 10 times the weight of my ship.

Strangely enough, there's this mythology sprouting out that I cannot stop.

I do not believe in the Cinema verite. Sometimes a really good lie is better than any truth.
