In a way my work is documentary. But I am also a photographer who has a distinct style. My photographs are a companion to the reality of the situation.
Graciela Iturbide

I got five kids, and my oldest is a documentary film maker and camera man, and still photographer.
Beau Bridges
Image
Documentaries were necessary for my growth as a person. I grew up very sheltered and it was a form of expressing myself.
Kareem Mortimer

Saying that all documentaries are the same is like saying all foreign films are the same.
Terry Zwigoff
Image
I watched a documentary about the immigrant crisis around the world. And it does make me blush at all the times I've stood up on the stage and given your speech about the healing power of fiction.
George Saunders
Image
In a one-hour documentary, you can tell maybe ten stories. That's how the documentary is structured. I wrote to forty of the greatest historians of both African and African-American history, and hired them as consultants. I had them submit what they thought were the indispensable stories, the ones they felt this series absolutely had to include.
Henry Louis Gates
Image
I think I can do whatever I want with fiction, but the more documentary it is, the better it will be because that's what I'm good at. I'm good at observing people's behavior and putting these unspoken things into movie contexts in ways that other people can sometimes miss.
Robert Greene

I watched Ricki Lake's documentary, 'The Business of Being Born,' and that led me to call a midwife, and not an ob-gyn, when I found out I had conceived. My delivery was not easy - they call it 'labor,' not 'a vacation!' - but I was incredibly grateful that I did it that way.

I like documentaries because there's nothing to nitpick or criticize about scenes if they aren't just right. It's about honesty and real-life circumstances coming out. Granted it can be swayed by how people tell that story, but overall, I like it because it is true.
Steven Yeun

A good film is also a documentary
Eric Rohmer
Image
I've done several commercials and I've done voiceovers for documentaries.
Jeff Bridges
Image
A film is not a documentary. And what's wonderful about film is that it's a real provocation for people. I never, ever see film as being an absolute version of the truth.
Cate Blanchett

My father was an amateur filmmaker who shot 8mm color documentaries.
Lasse Hallstrom
Image
Three of the top six documentaries of all time, grossing, are made by me.
Michael Moore

When I watch my early documentaries, they're very eclectic. They don't follow any particular [pattern]. I would have gotten thrown out of film school because I didn't. I was just putting them together somehow as the spirit moved me, following my nose, thinking I was brilliant.
Pawel Pawlikowski
Image
The first time I thought about attempting a body suspension was after watching a documentary on rites-of-passage ceremonies from other cultures. I was completely intrigued by what these people put their bodies through.
Criss Angel

I'm a huge fan of the Ken Burns documentary style, big time. I love documentaries full stop. I'm a big documentary fan. That's my reality. I don't like reality TV. I like it like that.
Phil Morris
Image
I wouldn't call myself a geek, but I do sometimes teach Mommy and Daddy stuff about computers. And I do watch TV, but only informative programmes like the news and documentaries.
Adora Svitak
Image
I would love to have been a documentary filmmaker I just didn't have the resources to do that.
Anna Deavere Smith
Image
A remarkable documentary and the first in-depth record of many black women, slave and free.
Dorothy B. Porter
Image
That [Louisiana culture] was all very new to me. I read books and watched documentaries, just trying to immerse myself.
Kofi Siriboe
Image
So I do tend to do documentaries where I can move in and out of them.
Michael Apted

We tried to present the ordinary in an extraordinary manner. But that's the paradox because the only thing extraordinary about it was that it was so ordinary. Nobody had ever done it before, deliberately. Now it's called documentary, which I suppose is all right ... We just took pictures that cried out to be taken.
Ben Shahn

I'm sometimes called a 'documentary photographer' but... a man operating under that definition could take a sly pleasure in the disguise. Very often I'm doing one thing when I'm thought to be doing another.
