“I almost obsessively began reading about what was happening with the so-called Islamic State. But I couldn't find an angle on the story.”

“The story is supposed to change; it's supposed to evolve. In making 'Cartel Land,' I ended up with a much, much different story than I started with.”

“It's going to take each of us coming together to muster the strength to look in the mirror and ask, 'How can I help create a sustainable health care system for the 21st century?'”

“I went on a cross-country trip with three buddies to find out what our generation is about. I bought a video camera, started shooting, learned as I went, and ended up with 'Our Time,' a feature-length documentary about what it's like to be young in America. I was hooked.”

“My favorite way of making films - and what has allowed me to get key scenes in 'Cartel Land' and 'City of Ghosts' - has been when I've been able to operate alone.”

“Compliments aren't really a journalistic angle.”

“Comedy taste changes. It only changes slightly, but there's always a different angle, a different attitude.”

“You've gotta understand camera angles, camera movement - a kick that may not be very powerful may look very powerful from a certain angle.”

“We feel pressure from every angle to meet expectations, but the pressure also pushes us in a positive was as well.”

“I was a big fan of Kurt Angle when I was growing up. Actually, his book is a big part of the reason that I work out so hard.”

“We wake up and go to sleep with ourselves every single day. We see ourselves in the mirror from every angle. We know what we look like. We know what makes us happy about our bodies and what upsets us. And we don't need to value the opinions of others at all - especially from people who that we don't even know, or that we don't care about.”
