More quotes by Errol Morris
The imprimatur of truthfulness does not guarantee truthfulness. People should know better. But they don't.
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
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
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
I like to think that every movie emerges from the conversations.

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.

You know, anything more negative, anything more disparaging, anything more adversarial than what [Donald Trump] does already. The mystery is how he's gotten as far as he's gotten.
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
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
A lot of the distinctions that we make between drama and documentary are spurious. We're deeply confused about these issues. About the difference between the two, about where documentary ends and drama begins.
Errol Morris
There is only one direction. (Down.) There is only one color. (Black.) And there is only one number (Zero.)
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
[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 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
I've had people turn me down. Not all that many, but certainly it happens.
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.

The first Polaroid ever took of someone in my family was my son when he was about four years old.
Errol Morris
There are many dramas that I would like to make: dramas based on real stories. It's approaching things from the other side.
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
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
