I think documentary filmmaking is a braver way to make films because it's real, and you're really there.

The best documentaries are independent. They don’t exist to serve interests, philanthropic or otherwise.

At HBO, they seem to be well-informed. They make what I think are really quite mature films.

There's no real side to be on because I think it was a mess.

I think you get in trouble if you make experimental big studio films.

I think you can appreciate different interpretations. Art is not a contest. I can even appreciate hearing someone play something in a way that I wouldn't.
