The World Motivation
It took me little more than two years to complete my film, 'Woody Allen: A Documentary.' I conducted hours of filmed interviews with Woody, who put forward no ground rules about questions I could ask, or topics to avoid.

In the States anything dealing with religion, people go nuts, because they are nuts.
I'm always looking to move on to the next thing.
I feel like a lot of the guys who are trying to do political or socially relevant humor just haven't figured out who the enemy is.
My paid gigs allow me to pay for my documentaries, like a drug habit, I suppose. If I'm lucky enough to be working steady, however, it leaves little time for the documentary hobby.
My personal favorite is Woody Allen, who is just amazing as a comedian.
In terms of directing, there's a number of directors who definitely had a great impact on me, Woody Allen certainly being one of them.
People sometimes forget all the films that we've done. They remember the likes of 'Malcolm X' and 'Do the Right Thing.' But I've been working since 1986. From the beginning, I was determined to not just be a flash in the pan. I've got to keep up with Woody Allen. He's lapping me.
Nobody wants to see a good Josh Allen week in and week out. It's kind of hard to beat him.
Woody Allen is a great dramatist and a great comedian.
