One of the reasons to do documentaries is that. There's more sense of creating something, more sense of my own soul in the documentaries than in movies, because I don't write the movies I do.

Documentaries are a powerful and effective way of bridging the gap between worlds, breaking through to new audiences that wouldn't otherwise be engaged - in essence, not preaching to the choir.

The documentaries I made were never normal documentaries. They were about subjects I was obsessed with, and I suppose I thought I could sculpt them. What I think I do with my fiction is the same.

I did documentaries for maybe 10 years before I turned to fiction films.

I don't think I'll be making documentaries my whole life.

So I do tend to do documentaries where I can move in and out of them.

Documentary people have to know that, particularly nowadays, they have to be on a mission. And part of the mission is to - is to be like good journalists: search for the truth, have an open mind, listen to as much as you can of different sides of things.

I've done several commercials and I've done voiceovers for documentaries.

I think the greatest thing about making a documentary is your ability to just follow the story and the subject.
