"I felt like a fraud... but I had nothing to do with it. It was him!"

"There are many things in the movie which are simply not true"

"I was hurt by the movie. It was like a knife in my heart"

"I felt like somebody hit me in the face with an ice cube tray..."

"I would've killed him when I saw the film in his apartment"

"We're like vultures"

"If you don't know the truth It's better to stay silent"

I don't believe those stories...

Everyone wants to be on film...

It can make you really famous... fabulous... a star director... so you can live in Beverly Hills.

I really know what it feels like being hounded by a camera...

I felt like somebody hit me in the face with an ice cube tray... my life was over...

I hammered the nails on the coffin

Half of them would love to have their parents dead.

I tried to capture the truth...

I think he is the one!

It will be sold out...

It was one of those Sundance things... We started our meeting on a bus

It's commercial... very MTVish, very saleable... I love it.

Getting ready for another shoot day

It's very aggressive thing, very American.... that's why we've got Coca-Cola everywhere...

To have all control you need to give up control

Our promotional cards are covered within half hour

I'd like to get a shot of Robert Redford so we can say that our film is starring him.
