It's Really Hard To Know Why Certain

I Like To Think That Every Movie Emerges From The Conversations.

Right Now, We Live In Bad Times In This Country, And The Fact That There Are Filmmakers Addressing Political And Social Issues Is To Me A Good Thing.

You Can Ask Yourself, If A Film Makes A Claim, Is The Claim True Or False? Having Said That, A Style Of Presenting Material Doesn't Guarantee Truth. There's This Crazy Idea That Somehow You Pick A Style, And By Virtue Of Picking The Style, You've Provided Something That Is More Truthful. It's As If You Imagine That Changing The Font On A Sentence You Write Makes It More Truthful.

If You Asked Me What Makes The World Go Round, I Would Say Self-deception. Self-deception Allows Us To Create A Consistent Narrative For Ourselves That We Actually Believe. I’m Not Saying That The Truth Doesn’t Matter. It Does. But Self-deception Is How We Survive.

I Like To Think That I Differ From Other Interviewers In The Sense That I Hide My Agenda More Successfully, And I'm More Open To Hearing Stuff That Is Surprising And Unexpected. That I'm Actually Involved In An Investigation, Through Monologue, At Times.
