  • To the documentary director the appearance of things and people is only superficial. It is the meaning behind the thing and the significance underlying the person that occupy his attention...

Documentary is a trade just as carpentry or pot-making. The pot-maker makes pots, and the documentarian documentaries.

I think that all the different things that I do enhance all the other things that I do.

  • I like the idea of becoming [fairly] good at lots of things rather than very good at just one thing. So it would be nice to be okay at the guitar or at the piano, a reasonable cook, perhaps able to fix your car or do some basic carpentry, and be able to write the odd article. Rather than being super good at one tiny thing, to be kind of average at lots of things. It might mean that you have a more kind of enjoyable, complete life.

Ordering in Chinese. Stereo instructions in German.
