“And I’m very much in favour of reading. These are very intense experiences of the mind which many of the new generation do not have any more. They read little snippets on Twitter and see little snippets of films on YouTube. And they are pretty much lost, because they do not read, and they are not conceptually thinking any more.”

“Almost all my documentaries are not really documentaries. Number one, they’re just movies; number two, many of them are feature films in disguise. I’m not a fly on the wall. That would be utterly boring. I’m a filmmaker. I create films. I stylise them, I narrate them, I captivate an audience, I do everything a director should do.”
