I didn't know Jack Kennedy that well, but Bobby was a hero to me. ”

When you're editing, you're putting it together in a way that makes sense metaphysically. You're not inventing it, but you're finding the story that's there. You're making a play that's eventually going to go on stage and present itself to an audience. You want to show what happened, not exactly what you have evidence of happening. ”

I had maybe heard 'The Times Are A-Changing' on the radio, but I had no idea who Dylan was. No idea. ”

Filming is a witnessing process. You don't try to control it, even though sometimes you wish you could because it can go really, really wrong for you. ”

Two of my sons are themselves filmmakers, and we can't afford them nor they us. They work in the real world and earn money and are pretty good at it. ”
