I'm interested in stories that aren't getting told: it's where my interests lie.

I'm a fairly quiet and private person. So I haven't sought publicity.

I'm definitely drawn to stories of just regular folks, just generally in some kind of horrific situation. I keep saying I want to do a love story in the south of France with a boy and girl and some wine. Then I always end up in an oil rig with four hundred guys or on a mountain with guys shooting at each other.

I'm a journalist, and I'm a filmmaker. I have an organization that's all about telling stories.

I hate the way market forces try to separate us out in to the appropriate demographic - basically in order to sell us things. We need to find stories that we can enjoy together, not separately.

I like stories that are not normal, everyday lives. I don't personally seek them out, but they find me.

As a reporter, I embedded for modest stints with American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. When I'm asked about those experiences, I always say - and mean - that we civilians don't deserve the soldiers we have.

I want to tell stories for everyone, primarily.
