I don't want to travel.

I'm a very circumspect and prudent person, and I eliminate danger as far as it can be done.

I was able to persuade them to let me shoot in areas that were beyond the volcano itself. Beyond the joint scientific program between Cambridge University and North Korean scientists. I was able to film in a kindergarten, subway, other things you would not normally be allowed to do.

The danger is to stupidly believe that depicting facts gives us much insight. If facts were the only thing that counted, the telephone directory would be the book of books.

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

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.

Women have a very good sense for seeing instantly what constitutes a good man. Not physically. The physical strength is only a small side of it.
