Suicides aren't heroic in my opinion. And I don't think anybody ever really knows why somebody commits suicide.
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.
Alex Gibney
The sex abuse crisis in the Catholic Church is the result of what police call noble cause corruption, the belief that because you are dedicated to doing good, you can do no wrong.
Alex Gibney
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
The Church must be all-powerful. You discover these horrors within institutions because predators find ways of hiding in plain sight.
Alex Gibney
Steve Jobs was one of the first people to understand that the computer wasn't just a tool, but that it could be an extension of ourselves, and he positioned Apple that way. The iPod was this revolutionary device with the idea of 1,000 songs in your pocket, and then that machine represents who you are.

I think many articles in the New Yorker have a strong point of view, but they are so rigorously fact-checked. I wouldn't call them objective, but they feel fair.

No one likes documentaries.

I feel that Julian Assange came to be both paranoid and self-regarding in ways that ultimately undermined his own mission.

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
You can't expect the institution to learn, if it doesn't accept any sense of justice.
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. Steve Jobs was saying, Don't pay attention to all that stuff. Pay attention to the product you've got in your hand.
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.

The Barack Obama Administration has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all previous administrations combined. That's a staggering record. And it comes from a president who said that he's going to have one of the most transparent administrations ever.

The funny thing about being Catholic, and I was raised Catholic, is that you identify with the Church, just as part of your character. Nevermind what you believe, it's just who you are.
Alex Gibney
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.
Alex Gibney
What a terrible world it would be if we only did films that were poster boards for political causes.
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
The stuff about film being a collaborative medium is no joke.
Alex Gibney
Jobs' incredible skill was as a storyteller, a salesman. He could captivate our imaginations and reel us in. He was more P.T. Barnum than Thomas Edison.
