With documentaries, you go in with an open-mind but knowing what you want.
Chris Metzler

In the US, the 50s and 60s marked the documentary's golden age, especially at CBS, where pioneering televison journalist Edward R Murrow, immortalised in George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck, produced such landmark investigations as the CBS Reports programme Hunger in America.
Naomi Wolf

You know, the process of making a documentary is one of discovery, and like writing a story, you follow a lead and that leads you to something else and then by the time you finish, the story is nothing like you expected.
William Shatner

I've been a documentary photographer for much longer than I have been a filmmaker.
Lauren Greenfield

It's impossible for one or two people to go out and shoot a narrative film you need to have a cast, the person shooting sound, whatever. But you can legitimately have a couple people and go and do a documentary.
Jeremy Coon

If you told me thirty years ago that people would be parodying documentary films, I never would have believed it. It wasn't clear that the films themselves even had an audience, let alone an audience for parodies of them.
Errol Morris
Image
For me, documentary photography has always come with great responsibility. Not just to tell the story honestly and with empathy, but also to make sure the right people hear it. When you photograph somebody who is in pain or discomfort, they trust you to make sure the images will act as their advocate.

Documentary photography has amassed mountains of evidence. And yet... the genre has simultaneously contributed much to spectacle, to retinal excitation, to voyeurism, to terror, envy and nostalgia, and only a little to the critical understanding of the social world.
Allan Sekula

In documentary films, being able to be a storytelling and embrace film as an art form - while being very clearly connected in trying to help make the world a better place - is really important to me.
James Redford
Image
Fear is not a word in my football documentary.
Jose Mourinho
Image
We'll be back to our nature documentary, 'Baggy the Anorexic Elephant' in just a second.
Colin Mochrie

Some of my pictures are poem-like in the sense that they are very condensed, haiku-lik. There are others that, if they were poetry, would be more like Ezra Pound. There is a lot of information in most of my pictures, but not the kind of information you see in documentary photography. There is emotional information in my photographs.
Sally Mann

Documentaries are my favorite thing, and the more depressing, the better.
Maria Thayer

You know, a documentary is only interesting once in a while. If you look at a whole book of Dorothea [Lange]'s where she has row after row of people bending over and digging out carrots - that can be very tedious. And so it's only once in a while that something happens that is worth doing.
Imogen Cunningham
Image
I hate those earnest TV documentaries that are the world according to people with glasses who know better than you.
Billy Connolly
Image
I dont see why people are so snooty about Channel Five. It has some respectable documentaries about the Second World War. It also devotes considerable airtime to investigations into lap-dancing, and other related and vital subjects
Boris Johnson

I live in New York City, and I'm making huge action movies. The people that make huge action movies live in L.A., and they're surrounded by other people who make huge action movies. I'm surrounded by people making documentaries!
Doug Liman
Image
When I first started, I saw myself shooting documentaries or making documentaries, which is what I did, mostly, for a number of years. So it was quite a surprise how I found myself shooting features. It was like my wildest dreams as a kid collided.
Roger Deakins
Image
Even a documentary portrait of a person that tries to be very accurate is shaped by the filmmaker in so many ways.
Dana Spiotta
Image
Reality television hasn't killed documentaries, because there are so many great documentaries still being made, but it certainly has changed the landscape.
Todd Phillips
Image
Well, like any time you're shooting documentary stuff, you've got to be in the moment, and you've got to be able to be in control enough to capture what's happening
Brian De Palma
Image
I've been called a spy of Israel since 1996, and since I made my documentary film in 2000 the FBI has investigated me as an agent of Iraq. The FBI has also opened up an investigation into my wife calling her a KGB spy.
Scott Ritter
Image
I've always intended to eventually make films. I've always been very aware of tone and shots. But documentaries are a great proving ground for me.
George Ratliff
Image
There would be brilliant songs, but, as [Bob] Dylan admitted on the recent Martin Scorsese documentary about him (No Direction Home), the specific muse that inspired It's Alright Ma would not return.
