But I can say what interests me about documentary is the fact that you don't know how the story ends at the onset - that you are investigating, with a camera, and the story emerges as you go along.

You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise.

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.

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

I didn't realize that, in doing a documentary, there is this process of discovery. It's not like a film or a play with a set script. It sort of reveals itself.

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

I don't normally make documentaries. I'm a drama director. I've made a few short docs, but I don't like talking heads or 'voice of God' narrators.

When I do documentaries, my best information ends up on the cutting-room floor. People have trouble dealing with sexual honesty.

I'm addicted to documentaries. That's all I watch on television.
