Certainly going back to Sherlock Holmes we have a tradition of forensic science featured in detective stories.

A working detective has no hope of understanding what even experts who devote their lives to the study of criminal psychology can't figure out.

Nobody likes to be found out, not even one who has made ruthless confession a part of his profession. Any autobiographer, therefore, at least between the lines, spars with his reader and potential judge.

Everyone is doing forensics.

I'm at the right age to work with dead people, but you have to be smart to be a CSI.

You can't make a living as a playwright. You can barely scrape by.

Forensics I've always found absolutely fascinating. Anything to do with clues. And checking things out and solving.

I wanted to be a police detective. In my work, particularly in documentaries, I am obsessed with finding things out, seeking ever-new facts and perspectives - each project can involve years of research.

I didn't invent forensic science and medicine. I just was one of the first people to recognize how interesting it is.

A director must be a policeman, a midwife, a psychoanalyst, a sycophant and a bastard.
