You have to let the viewers come away with their own conclusions. If you dictate what they should think, you've lost it.

I think by laying it out for the viewer I'm avoiding the issue of bias.

I always like to have faith that an audience will suspend their disbelief, if you present it to them in the right way. I find it peculiar when people scoff at one bold idea, and yet they'll then turn over and watch a man travel through time in a police phone box. I think it's just how you present the idea.

I'm manipulating the audience. I'm making sure people sympathize.

You know, it is a terrible thing to appear on television, because people think that you actually know what you're talking about.

The journalistic code of ethics governing the broadcasts requires that opposing views be presented, and that journalists' personal opinions or judgments be left out of factual reporting.

I prefer more to kind of show people different things than tell them 'oh, here's what you should believe' and, over time, you can build up a rapport with your audience.

It is discouraging how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.

In film and television we are oftentimes so pampered that the truths are withheld.

There's a bit more of a safe distance when you're making a narrative movie, a bit more perspective. Audiences can separate themselves from the harsh reality of the facts a little bit more and think: 'Okay, how do I consider this?'
