[on his role in Paris, Texas (1984)] The whole film evolved on a very organic level. It almost had a documentary feel to it. It wasn`t odd to be in the lead, I took the same approach as I would to any other part. I play myself as totally as I possibly can...
Harry Stanton
It`s not really what I`d call a movie. I was stunned that Miramax wanted to buy it. I mean it`s really rude. It showed me in a really bad light. It`s also shoddily made. It`s cobbled together. -- expressing surprise that a low-budget documentary of his ba...
Russell Crowe
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 jus...

Len Wiseman
I think that was part of the distributor`s scheme. Miramax didn`t introduce the actors at any of the screenings. That`s why a lot of people thought Kids was a documentary. I still meet people who think it was real. After I made Kids, I went back to workin...
Leo Fitzpatrick
(On taking a colossal pay cut to make a documentary) I could keep trying to do the same kind of comedies. You know how it`s going to go, and you can get an audience with it, but then I feel like a hamster on a wheel.
Vince Vaughn

Upon winning his Academy Award for Bowling for Columbine (2002): "On behalf of our producers, Kathleen Glynn and Michael Donovan from Canada, I`d like to thank the Academy for this. I have invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us, and w...
Michael Moore
You`re making a movie, not a documentary. If you made a film like the historians would like you to make, you`re not going to go and see it. I`d rather see paint dry.
Dougray Scott
With the phenomenal recent box office success of films such as March of the Penguins, Winged Migration and Super Size Me, our launch coincides with the height of the documentary genre`s popularity.

Oliver Sacks
When I was at Stratford, the very first thing that I was commissioned to work on was trying to make a musical out of the documentary material about the General Strike, which was the next big historical event in England, after the First World War.
Trevor Nunn
When a documentary filmmaker, working in the style that I do, suggests that there has been a shooting ratio of 40 hours to every one hour of finished film, that doesn`t mean that the other 39 are bad.

Cilla Black
We`re telling a story. And the demands of that are different from the demands of a documentary. The audience must believe in order to keep faith in the story.
Bradley Whitford
To suggest that Mr. Lafond`s documentary on the FLQ crisis makes him a separatist sympathizer is to suggest that Ken Burns` documentary on the Civil War makes him a Confederate secessionist,

Scott Reid
Those are just some of the people whom we interviewed in the documentary, but that should provide you with a good sense of the credibility of the individuals who bolster the case that this administration lied us into a war.
Robert Greenwald
This was almost two hours of factual documentary. In our audience ratings, barely no one left the programme. The whole of his life is so fascinating and people kept watching for that reason.
