More quotes by Errol Morris
The very idea of photography is as Oliver Wendell Holmes said in the 19th century, it's a mirror with a memory.
Errol Morris
Maybe [killers] is one of my real passions. Why deny it?
Errol Morris
I asked [Donald Trump] if he had any advice for Charles Foster Kane and he said, Yeah, get yourself a different woman.
Errol Morris
Truth and falsity is something that concerns language, it's a property of language.
Errol Morris
The perfect war is started for obscure reasons, is hopelessly murderous, and accomplishes nothing.
Errol Morris
Listening to what people were saying wasn't even important. But it was important to look as if you were listening to what people were saying. Actually, listening to what people are saying, to me, interferes with looking as if you were listening to what people are saying.
Errol Morris
The pursuit of truth, properly considered, shouldn't stop short of insanity.
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
I don't think that anybody really makes films quite like mine. That's maybe true of any filmmaker.
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.

If you want to trick someone with a photograph, there are lots of easy ways to do it. You don't need Photoshop. You don't need sophisticated digital photo-manipulation. You don't need a computer. All you need to do is change the caption.
Errol Morris
I've always wondered where explanations end and excuses begin.

Basically, Making a Murderer chronicles a set of crimes committed in Wisconsin: Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The first crime is a miscarriage of justice. Steven Avery is convicted and sentenced to a very, very long prison sentence for the assault on a woman. And it comes to light through DNA evidence that he was not the assailant.
Errol Morris
[Elsa Dorfman]was well known. Certainly in the Boston area, she's well known as a portrait photographer. My wife always wanted to meet her and then there was some benefit where she was taking pictures.
Errol Morris
We falsely interpret the world around us. We ignore evidence that doesn't support our prior beliefs and we convince ourselves we know things we don. We think we know things we don't know.
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
The fact that the world is utterly insane makes it tolerable.
Errol Morris
Truth is a pursuit, it's a quest. And proof is certainly in the pudding in this particular instance, because the film, and the evidence accumulated in making the film, led to this man's release from prison. And that's hardly ever happened, if it's happened at all, in any other film that I can think of.
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
I am profoundly skeptical about our abilities to predict the future in general, and human behavior in particular.
