After I read all the medical journals and watched all the documentaries, I still didn't understand the physical sensation of ticking and where it comes from and what it feels like.
Robin Tunney

All the great novels, all the great films, all the great dramas are fictions that actually tell us the truth about us or about human nature or about human situations without being tied into the minutia of documentary events. Otherwise we might as well just make documentaries.
Jeremy Northam

By showing hunger, deprivation, starvation and brutality, as well as endurance and nobility, documentaries inform, prod our memories, even stir us to action. Such films do battle for our very soul.
Theodore Bikel

Documentaries have always inspired me in narrative filmmaking.
Griffin Dunne

I did documentaries for maybe 10 years before I turned to fiction films.
Walter Salles

I discovered the 7th art at home when I was kid, through Charlie Chaplin's movies and those of my father who shot documentaries. He was my biggest influence. So I took his camera and started shooting.
Lasse Hallstrom

I don't think of Storefront Hitchcock or Stop Making Sense as documentaries, I think of them more as performance films.
Jonathan Demme

I hope that not only my documentaries, but everybody's documentaries, last. It will really confuse historians in the next century, because they'll have, in addition to all the print material, they'll have all these pictures to look at.
Frederick Wiseman

I never wanted to be a film director but after this experience I really loved it. I would love to do more documentaries but it's difficult to find backing for them.
Marc Singer

I teach at USC. I have a big class of 360 kids, only about a fifth of whom are film majors. I don't just show the Hollywood blockbusters. I show independent films, foreign films, documentaries.
Leonard Maltin

I was painting sets, working in editorial as an assistant, driving their trucks, lying that I knew how to drive a truck, and doing commercials and documentaries.
Richard Donner

I watch movies occasionally, and I watch documentaries. Virtually nothing else.
Don DeLillo

My father was an amateur filmmaker who shot 8mm color documentaries.
Lasse Hallstrom

No, I worked a lot for European television, doing documentaries in Brazil.
Walter Salles

One of the reasons to do documentaries is that. There's more sense of creating something, more sense of my own soul in the documentaries than in movies, because I don't write the movies I do.
Michael Apted

So I do tend to do documentaries where I can move in and out of them.
Michael Apted

Ten years ago I was not heavily involved in the film world but on reflection it was a boom time with the mineral boom happening, so there was immense growth for industrial training films, documentaries to do with the mining, and the outback world.
Ann Macbeth

That's why I have always admired documentaries, because they open windows that can make you understand much better where you come from, much better than fiction, I think.
Walter Salles

There's so many documentaries out there right now and everything's exposing wrestling.
Owen Hart
