I always expose the apparatus. I show how the film was made. I acknowledge the filmmaker and the filmmaking.

We all have a family and I think we all have a perception of our family that we like to keep and we all have our positive memories in a certain way.

I believe that sitting naked across from your adversary in a steam room makes negotiations more productive.

I don't necessarily believe in the ideology of cinema verité. I think by the very fact that you have a camera there you are affecting the story and you are influencing it.

I'm better at being a lawyer than I am at being a writer.
