“This time, I was telling my own story instead of creating characters in my head.”

“I always want the camera to be someone.”

“It is not only wanting to tell your story, but to also tell it your way that’s part of the struggle.”

“When you do that let me tell you what I know for sure. That’s when your story gets really good.”

“The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete.”

“When you're writing a story, it often feels less like you're doing architecture and more like you're doing excavation—we're just unearthing it.”

““Part of a large subconscious corpus of personal myth, like an island above the sea, but joined underwater to other islands.””

“I just think it’s part of storytelling.”

“Because I discovered very early on that broadcasting is the control of suspense.”

“Tragedy needs a strong storyteller, otherwise it doesn’t exist.”

“In the case of history what matters is its meaning; its medium is events, and its vehicle is literature.”
