More quotes by Errol Morris
I used to work as a private detective years and years ago.
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
Truth and falsity is something that concerns language, it's a property of language.
Errol Morris
The chance that any given sentence is a lie, rather than a truth, I think, is fairly great. An intentional lie, a self-deception, a misconception - there are lots of categories of untruth, not one grab bag. And hotographs can reveal something to us, and they can also conceal things.
Errol Morris
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
The claim that everybody sees the world differently is not a claim that there's no reality. It's a different kind of claim.
Errol Morris
They say seeing is believing, but the opposite is true. Believing is seeing.
Errol Morris
Maybe [killers] is one of my real passions. Why deny it?
Errol Morris
When you start talking about the known knowns and the unknown unknowns, you're thrown into a crazy meta-level discussion. Do I know what I know, do I know what I don't know, do I know what I don't know I don't know. It becomes a strange, Lewis Carroll - like nursery rhyme.
Errol Morris
The pursuit of truth, properly considered, shouldn't stop short of insanity.
Errol Morris
But there's a big difference between, say, reporting on a story and simply making up a story.
Errol Morris
Everything is a reenactment. We are reenacting the world in the mind. The world is not inside there. It does not reside in the gray matter of the brain.
Errol Morris
There is something about the photographs that is endlessly disturbing. The fact that we like to think of them as torture actually hides what is really deeply offensive about them.
Errol Morris
I like to think that one of things I've done with non-fiction since the very beginning is to find new ways of telling true stories.
Errol Morris
Right now, we live in bad times in this country, and the fact that there are filmmakers addressing political and social issues is to me a good thing.
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
I asked [Donald Trump] if he had any advice for Charles Foster Kane and he said, Yeah, get yourself a different woman.
Errol Morris
I like to think that every movie emerges from the conversations.
Errol Morris
Part of the mystery of any given photograph is the fact that it was taken at a certain time and in a certain place and time keeps moving on. A photograph might be a moment in time preserved, but the world continues to change around it.
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.
