It's hard to make a living doing documentaries. Frankly, if it takes you five years to do a film, and that's the only film you're doing, you're in trouble.

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.

Maybe if I found something I was really passionate about, which is entirely possible, I would make another documentary, but it's not a good career choice for anybody. I don't recommend it.

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

I'm not trying to acquire a reputation as serious documentary maker for its own sake.

I've always slightly harboured a dream of making a film, a documentary feature. Somehow, I just got into a way of working a routine of making TV docs.

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

Well, I want to do everything in sort of a documentary style, ever since I started in the '80s.

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.
