I Like To Think That One Of

A Lot Of The Themes Of My Movies, The Actual Stories, Come From Tabloid Stories.

I Remember On Page One Of The New York Times The Article About Fred Leuchter.

And Then Buried In The Back Of The Paper Was The Fact That Fred Leuchter Had Also Been Involved In Holocaust Denial.

People Can Burn Archives; People Can Destroy Evidence, But To Say That History Is Perishable, That Historical Evidence Is Perishable, Is Different Than Saying That History Is Subjective.

Maybe [killers] Is One Of My Real Passions. Why Deny It?

Long, Long Before I Became A Filmmaker I Was Talking To Killers. Filmmaking Was An After Thought.
