Bill Gates, who is the classic computer nerd, as opposed to Steve who is, like the coolest guy in the world. And who is really doing things to make the world a better place?

With every project I start out on, there's no footage. It's always a big slog to find the footage.

What a terrible world it would be if we only did films that were poster boards for political causes.

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.

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
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.

I'm still an Apple person, but let's just say the magic aura is gone. In a way that was a sad thing to lose, but I feel better for it. It's just a machine now, not linked with any greater mission or mystique.

If people are portrayed as monsters, we become disconnected from them, and to me that is not remotely interesting.
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.

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.

As the power of governments wanes, corporations become ever more powerful. Sometimes they do things that aren't so good. We should pay attention.

The stuff about film being a collaborative medium is no joke.

The Church must be all-powerful. You discover these horrors within institutions because predators find ways of hiding in plain sight.

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 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.

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

You can't expect the institution to learn, if it doesn't accept any sense of justice.

In the case of the Catholic Church, it's hard to understand how they so willfully sacrifice the children.

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.
