“The plain truth is, 'Fruitvale Station' was made totally outside the H...” — John Singleton Quote

“The plain truth is, 'Fruitvale Station' was made totally outside the Hollywood studio system, and every ounce of the picture feels authentic. The lives of the people involved in the movie will never be the same.”

“I've become more relaxed. When I was younger, I had more erratic, nervous tension when I was working.”

“You can only really write about what you know about.”

“It's funny; it's a real balancing act. In TV, everybody's talking about authenticity. In order to make 'Dirty Jobs' authentic, I really can't be overly informed. The minute I am, I become a host... It's a very tricky business paying a tribute to work, because TV is very bad at it.”

“You can't try to be authentic. You either are or you aren't.”

“I've never interviewed anyone where I set out to try to persuade them to reveal something. Instead, it's about creating a space that allows someone to be authentic without judgment on my part.”
