- Business
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I work in the film business, where schmoozing is an art form, lunch hour lasts from 12:30 until 3, and every meeting takes an hour whether there's an hour's worth of business or not.
- Boy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is a fundamental notion at the core of American identity that, in this country, any little boy or girl can grow up to be president.
- Politics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Reality television has borrowed so much from the world of politics, whether it's alliances or voting or the kind of strategizing that's done. Anything like that came from politics well before it came from reality television.
- Long

- Nov 07, 2020
The presidency made John Adams an old man long before there was television. As early as the nation's first contested presidential election, with Adams and Jefferson running to succeed Washington, you had a brutal, ugly, vicious campaign that was divisive and as partisan as anything we're experiencing today.
- True
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The only thing documentary filmmakers have to work with, at least the way I make films, is trust. That's been true of everyone from James Carville and George Stephanopoulos to the kids in 'American High' to the soldiers in 'Military Diaries' to Anna Wintour to Dick Cheney.
- Curiosity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a filmmaker, my approach is to come in not with preconceived notions, but with curiosity, and in that way, whether my subjects are James Carville or Anna Wintour or Dick Cheney, I am always surprised.
- Drawing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm big into not drawing conclusions for people. I think that's what makes for the most exciting, compelling films. I get bored when the politics of the filmmaker are the subject of the film that I see.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think it's a coincidence that 'The War Room' and 'A Perfect Candidate' are films that have been consistently shown and available for rental for 20 years. These are films that are more about the moment in which they were filmed: they also have a great deal to say about larger issues about who we are as a country.
- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We're having such a great time on 'Nashville' that building on the relationship seemed an obvious next step. Lionsgate is the perfect home for the kind of scripted television I want to produce and direct.
- Great

- Nov 07, 2020
The great thing about 'American High' is that, every year, you can do a completely different environment.
- Hope
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We hope the stories of the 14 kids in 'American High' provide something for many people to relate to.
- Good

- Nov 07, 2020
'Taxicab Confessions' always cracks me up. And if you are in the mood for a good game show, I like 'Survivor' because it's well made.
- Brother
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I will say this: I think 'Big Brother' is the biggest snooze known to mankind.
- Say
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
On some level, you could say you wouldn't have 'In Style Magazine' at all had Anna Wintour not decided to put celebrities on the cover of 'Vogue' from her earliest years as Editor in Chief.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As with the subjects in all of my films, the incentive is left to the subject to determine on their own. I never ask someone why they say yes to me. After all, if you invited someone to join you for dinner, and they accepted your invitation, your next question wouldn't be, 'Why are you saying yes?'
- Politics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In both the world of fashion and politics, what's required to succeed is passion, dedication, and vision.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Working on 'The War Room' was a thrill, not only because we were given such exquisite access to the nerve center of Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign, but for me personally, it was so exciting to be producing my first film and working with documentary filmmaking legends D.A. Pannebaker and Chris Hegedus, who were the film's directors.
- Curiosity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's my approach as a filmmaker always to go in, not with a thesis or preconceived notion, but with curiosity and questions and inquiry. So in some way, I'm always surprised. I'm always finding paths of engagement.
- His
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Cheney refers to his vice presidency... as one of the most consequential vice presidencies in American history. And it clearly was.
- Democracy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I believe a democracy needs men and women of conviction in its positions of leadership in order for us to succeed. That's the subject of 'A Perfect Candidate,' a film I made 20 years ago about Oliver North and Charles Robb.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Belushi was one of my very first heroes. At a time when film, television, and music were undergoing tectonic shifts within American culture, he was at the center of it all. At that moment, he had the number one show on television, the number one film at the box office, and the number one record on the charts.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was watching 'The September Issue' in the back of a theater in New York, and I thought, 'I know I really can do this with actors.'
- Donald Trump
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If ever we deserved a candidate at this moment in our culture, that candidate is Donald Trump.
- Living
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Living in L.A. keeps me in my car a lot, and I'm constantly flipping back and forth between the following Sirius/XM Radio stations: NFL Radio, MLB Radio, POTUS, MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News.
- Daily
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Throughout the day, I frequently use my iPhone to check 'Deadline Hollywood' and my Twitter feed, as well as the 'Daily Beast,' the 'New York Times,' 'Metsblog,' and 'Thejetsblog.'
- Daily Basis
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I record the following shows on a daily basis and watch them when I have the time/inclination: 'The Daily Show,' Rachel Maddow, 'Hardball,' 'The Colbert Report,' 'The O'Reilly Factor,' David Letterman.
- Funny
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I had to name my favorite media personality, it would be a tie between Jon Stewart and Trey Parker/Matt Stone. Honest, wise, funny, and right. Sam Sifton was right up there when he was writing food criticism for the 'New York Times.'
- Figuring
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I always find myself gravitating toward stories of transformation, and one of those periods is teenage life. When teenagers are figuring out who they are and have one foot in childhood and the other in adulthood - I think that's a really mythic moment to tell stories about.
- Light
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No matter how much you've done before, you wonder if there will be a light at the end of this particular tunnel. It's the nature of the beast, and it's a part of what compels us. Every movie is a new lesson you learn making your way through it.
- First

- Nov 07, 2020
I discovered the theater when I was in the first grade.
- Journalism
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up on Long Island, and from as early as I can remember, as far back as first grade, I had two real passions - one of them was putting on plays, and the other was journalism. I was directing plays and editing school papers from first grade on, all the way through college.
- Journalism
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Directing plays lacked the immediacy and connection to real world events that journalism offered; journalism lacked the drama, theatricality and subjective storytelling of theater. It wasn't until I had the idea of making a documentary film about the 1992 presidential campaign that these two passions came together in 'The War Room.'
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I first thought about doing a project about Anna Wintour and 'Vogue' when I read an article in 'New York Magazine' about the Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Ball, the annual fundraising gala that Anna oversees. It created such a fascinating portrait that I couldn't help but be compelled.
