More quotes by Errol Morris
There are artists who are very well known and many of us feel they should be less well known, while there are others who aren't well known and many feel deserve more attention.
Errol Morris
They say seeing is believing, but the opposite is true. Believing is seeing.
Errol Morris
Not suing others does not mean that others won't sue you.If people are desperate enough to think that they can gain some kind of financial advantage, they'll sue.
Errol Morris
There is such a thing as truth, but we have a vested interest in not seeing it, in avoiding it.
Errol Morris
It's so much easier to make a movie about someone who is so likeable that you just want to get out of the way.
Errol Morris
I used to say that interviewing others was perhaps the way I could stop talking and start listening. It's a kind of enforced silence.
Errol Morris
The fact that the world is utterly insane makes it tolerable.
Errol Morris
I've been involved in doing advertising for various elections and I just couldn't see doing anti-Trump advertising in this election. My line has been, How could you do anything worse that what he does himself?.
Errol Morris
I've done interviews in one day that went on for fifteen, sixteen hours. And at a certain point, the control over what they're saying breaks down it becomes different. It becomes really powerful, and for me, real. It becomes out of control.
Errol Morris
I'm really interested in self-deception. Really interested in how people live in bubble universes. How people can fail to see the seemingly obvious.
Errol Morris
You can't really trust anybody who doesn't talk a lot, because how would you know what they're thinking?
Errol Morris
Maybe [killers] is one of my real passions. Why deny it?
Errol Morris
I think we get into all kinds of difficulty by saying photographs should be taken in a certain way which guarantees their veracity. I think that's a slippery slope to hell.
Errol Morris
There is only one direction. (Down.) There is only one color. (Black.) And there is only one number (Zero.)
Errol Morris
Twenty to thirty years ago, who was making documentary films? Nobody. Well, relatively few people. It was an art form that had limited theatrical distribution, if any at all. Some television distribution, but relatively small audiences regardless. And in the intervening years it's become more and more popular with a lot of people.
Errol Morris
I've always wondered where explanations end and excuses begin.
Errol Morris
Like all great documentaries, The Act of Killing demands another way of looking at reality. It starts as a dreamscape, an attempt to allow the perpetrators to reenact what they did, and then something truly amazing happens. The dream dissolves into nightmare and then into bitter reality. An amazing and impressive film.
Errol Morris
There's a line I love in Conan The Barbarian where someone says, That used to be another snake cult, now I see it everywhere. That's certainly true of documentaries. I wouldn't say it's ubiquitous, but it's become close to ubiquitous. It's everywhere.
Errol Morris
I used to work as a private detective years and years ago.
Errol Morris
Finding truth involves some kind of activity. As I like to point out, truth isn't handed to you on a platter. It's not something that you get at a cafeteria, where they just put it on your plate. It's a search, a quest, an investigation, a continual process of looking at and looking for evidence, trying to figure out what the evidence means.
