I don't believe that you can talk about a photograph being true or false. I don't think such a claim has any meaning.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it without a sense of ironic futility.

I like to point out that people very often confuse the idea that truth is subjective with the fact that truth is perishable.

People like nonfiction presented to them in a certain way, so that they don't have to think about whether it's true or not. They like it to have that imprimatur of respectability, of genuineness.

They say seeing is believing, but the opposite is true. Believing is seeing.

I'm really interested in self-deception. Really interested in how people live in bubble universes. How people can fail to see the seemingly obvious.

The proper route to an understanding of the world is an examination of our errors about it.

My stuff always starts with interviews. I start interviewing people, and then slowly but surely, a movie insinuates itself.

Everything is a reenactment. We are reenacting the world in the mind. The world is not inside there. It does not reside in the gray matter of the brain.

What is it that angers us?... We have been tricked. In essence, we have been lied to. The problem is not that the photograph has been manipulated, but that we have been manipulated by the photograph.

I think calling someone a character is a compliment.

Learn to choose and how it’s done… Learning what to choose and how to choose it is the best way of getting your bigger picture out of your passport size potentials!

And here I am. God and I, ever One, and Alone.

The fire which seems extinguished often slumbers beneath the ashes.

Love is the best thing in the world, and the thing that lives the longest.

Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote.

Quit while you're ahead. All the best gamblers do.

I'm a believer in that you can't really choose your audience, your audience chooses you.

The precarious ontological link between Logos and Eros is broken, and scientific rationality emerges as essentially neutral.

It's lame to say that I'm a normal girl, but I think I am.
