Long, Long Before I Became A Filmmaker

There's A Line I Love In Conan The Barbarian Where Someone Says, "that Used To Be Another Snake Cult, Now I See It Everywhere." That's Certainly True Of Documentaries. I Wouldn't Say It's Ubiquitous, But It's Become Close To Ubiquitous. It's Everywhere.

If You Told Me Thirty Years Ago That People Would Be Parodying Documentary Films, I Never Would Have Believed It. It Wasn't Clear That The Films Themselves Even Had An Audience, Let Alone An Audience For Parodies Of Them.

Long, Long Before I Became A Filmmaker I Was Talking To Killers. Filmmaking Was An After Thought.

The Way I Go About Making A Movie... Even The Ones That Are Interview-driven, I Go Into Them Not Knowing What's Going To Happen, And Feeling My Way Through.

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.
