In the history of Wikileaks, nobody has claimed that the material being put out is not authentic.

In my role as Wikileaks editor, I've been involved in fighting off many legal attacks. To do that, and keep our sources safe, we have had to spread assets, encrypt everything, and move telecommunications and people around the world to activate protective laws in different national jurisdictions.

By bringing out into the public domain how human institutions actually behave, we can understand frankly, to a degree, for the first time the civilization that we actually have.

WikiLeaks has revealed some hard truths about the Iraq and Afghan wars and broken stories about corporate corruption.

I feel like a lot of people make it very difficult for people to be their true, authentic self.

We all perform our lives in a way. And the actor is a perfect metaphor to get at that theme of 'how do we find our authentic selves?' And that we all - whether we're actors or not - perform ourselves. As a way of searching. As a way of fumbling around and trying to say, is this my voice? Is this who I am?

If I want to do realistic cinema and convince the audience in authentic roles, I have to walk the extra mile.

Love trumps hate in many ways, in every way, and you can be your authentic self. If you put your mind to it, and you put your work in, all your dreams can come true.
