Maybe Existence Is Ultimately A

One Of The Strengths Of My Interviews Is That I Really, Honest To God, Have No Idea What People Are Going To Say.

I Never Intended To Be A Documentary Filmmaker. I Think I Became A Documentary Filmmaker Because I Had Trouble Writing, And I Had Trouble Finishing Things.

You Can Think Of My Films As Cautionary Tales, But You Might Even Think Of Them As Despairing Tales, Because At Least In A Cautionary Tale, You Have This Idea That By Listening To The Story You Can Assure A Better Outcome. Whereas I'm Not At All Convinced That's The Case. In Fact, If Anything, I'm Convinced That It's The Opposite.
