Maybe Existence Is Ultimately A Lonely Thing.

I Gave Someone A Perverse Argument Not So Long Ago About Why Advertising Is Better Than Movies. You Want To Hear It? Movies Operate From A Really Disingenuous Premise, That People Are Heroes. I Know A Lot Of People And Have Had An Opportunity Over The Years To Observe Them. Are They Heroes...? Let's Put It This Way. Advertising Tries Something Simpler And More Believable: Products As Heroes. I Guess The Idea Is: When All Else Fails, Put Your Faith In Conditioner.

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.

It's A Kind Of Honour When I See How Many People Are Imitating The Style Of How I Make Films.

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.

If Someone Tells You That George Bush Is Not The 43rd President Of The United States, They Might Be Engaged In Wishful Thinking, Or Denial, But If They Make That Claim, It's Either True Or False! And You Can Assess That, Regardless Of Whether There's An Omniscient Narrator, Or An Unreliable Narrator, Or It's Shot In Vérité, Or It's Manipulated, It's Agitprop, Whatever! It Makes No Difference! It's A Style!
