Everything about Hank Williams interests me. His music, his life. His death. His impact.

If the Olympic Spirit is about overcoming every hurdle and accepting no limits, then I think Samsung is a great ambassador for these values.

The best music films are not about music... Music is just the language we're speaking to tell a story about culture.

I would argue that the culture is not the frosting on the cake: the culture is the plate the cake sits on.

The easiest way to subjugate a people is to erase a culture. I've seen it in war zones.

Culture in general is important, and people's identify is tied up in it. It's how we connect with others.

Non-fiction or documentaries can tell any kind of a story because they don't have to adhere to the rules of what's possible. When you're making something up, you have to say, 'Well, this is what would happen here,' but in reality, stuff happens that seems impossible.

The Sound of Silk' will serve as a lens for larger questions about cultural identity in a global society and the potential for individuals to act as catalysts for change.

I never got into making documentaries for any kind of success, because documentary careers are generally ones of prolonged failures.

I feel like I'm in a privileged position where I get to meet people and talk to them about the most important things in their lives. I appreciate that trust they're putting in me.

Music, like film, is an incredible tool for creating empathy.

Church singing is a great training ground.
