People often trust low-res images because they look more real. But of course they are not more real, just easier to fake. [...] You never see a 10-megapixel photograph of Big Foot or the Abominable Snowman or the Loch Ness Monster.

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
Certain kinds of intimacy emerge on a phone call that might never occur if you were sitting right next to the other person.
Errol Morris
I've been horribly depressed (lately), which, as you know, can be terribly time-consuming. I mean, if you're going to do it right, that is.
Errol Morris
Photographs attract false beliefs the way flypaper attracts flies.
Errol Morris
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 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
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
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'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 don't think that anybody really makes films quite like mine. That's maybe true of any filmmaker.
Errol Morris
I've had people turn me down. Not all that many, but certainly it happens.
Errol Morris
The fact that the world is utterly insane makes it tolerable.
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
I am profoundly skeptical about our abilities to predict the future in general, and human behavior in particular.
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
I used to work as a private detective years and years ago. And my boss gave me this one very simple piece of advice about trying to figure out who to interview first in any investigation. His recommendation: Always pick the people who were fired. Pick the people who are pissed off.
Errol Morris
Mike Wallace's interviews may make great television, but they don't produce great evidence.
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
The proper route to an understanding of the world is an examination of our errors about it.

The smarter people I know declined to watch the most recent debate [with Donald Trump].
