In a busy world, even as information is moving so rapidly, we have to learn who to trust in that regard even as we ourselves have to become more critical of the people who we want to trust. It's a weird situation.

More quotes by Alex Gibney
One of the things about Steve Jobs is that he gives us an opportunity to look at the disjuncture between that world and the world he claimed that Apple represented, the Think different world of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks and Gandhi.
Alex Gibney
Long ago I had a professor who told me, 'Embrace the contradictions.' I think that is what is most interesting about people like Jobs.
Alex Gibney
The Church must be all-powerful. You discover these horrors within institutions because predators find ways of hiding in plain sight.
Alex Gibney
You can't expect the institution to learn, if it doesn't accept any sense of justice.
Alex Gibney
As a filmmaker, I always took my inspiration from a filmmaker named Marcel Ophüls, who said, I always have a point of view, but the trick is showing how hard it is to come to that point of view.
Alex Gibney
What a terrible world it would be if we only did films that were poster boards for political causes.
Alex Gibney
In the case of the Catholic Church, it's hard to understand how they so willfully sacrifice the children.
Alex Gibney
I don't think Steve [Jobs] started Apple as a scam. But he understood early on the power of marketing. The idea of the computer as a bicycle for the human mind - I think that was something he believed.

I come from a filmmaking tradition and a storytelling background. So somehow I've emerged like a mutant who can straddle both worlds.
Alex Gibney
I think one of things that Steve Jobs, in his own funny way, encouraged us to remember with those Think different posters of Gandhi and Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King was, How do you make the world a better place?
Alex Gibney
If people are portrayed as monsters, we become disconnected from them, and to me that is not remotely interesting.
Alex Gibney
Fundamental problem in American democracy is that we are allowing congressmen and senators to be bought and sold like sneakers.
Alex Gibney
Suicides aren't heroic in my opinion. And I don't think anybody ever really knows why somebody commits suicide.
Alex Gibney
With every project I start out on, there's no footage. It's always a big slog to find the footage.
Alex Gibney
As the power of governments wanes, corporations become ever more powerful. Sometimes they do things that aren't so good. We should pay attention.
Alex Gibney
No one likes documentaries.
Alex Gibney
The stuff about film being a collaborative medium is no joke.
Alex Gibney
The internet connects us all and provides this fabulous fact-checking mechanism, and yet at the same time, the power of lies is conveyed much more efficiently now because they're accepted so fast.
Alex Gibney
Jobs would have ever have asserted that Bill Gates was not serious about technology. He was a huge pioneer in that world, albeit doing something quite different in approach from what Steve did. He was dismissive of Gates' foundation work as something he did to make himself feel better.
Alex Gibney
I feel that Julian Assange came to be both paranoid and self-regarding in ways that ultimately undermined his own mission.
