People say to me, "You make fantastic films" and I say, "No, I make documentaries.

Derek Jarman

You can talk to someone relatively famous, and they say, 'What do you do? What do you do for a job?' and I say, 'I make documentaries for the BBC,' and you see their eyes just glaze over.

Louis Theroux

You make documentaries because you love doing it; it's the only sane reason to make documentaries.

Morgan Neville

If I could make a decent living doing documentaries, I would. I don't really care about [the other] stuff so much. But you can't make a living doing documentaries. Although it has affected my work, at least in that I think I make fairly realistic-looking pictures.

Penelope Spheeris

I like the rock documentaries that make it seem real. Some rock documentaries are meant to make the bands look larger than life.

Dave Grohl

This [the opening of the Vatican City radio station built by Marconi earlier in 1931] was a new demonstration of the harmony between science and religion that each fresh conquest of science ever more luminously confirms, so that one may say that those who speak of the incompatibility of science and religion either make science say that which it never said or make religion say that which it never taught.

Pope Pius XI

I have a pretty positive view of environmental activism, but I didn't know much about the ELF. A lot of people make documentaries because they have something they want to say, but I make them because there's something I want to explore.

Marshall Curry

There is so much investment in it of people's labor time that it will never make money. But there are other documentaries that you might make that are sort of on assignment for television that turn around in three to six months. Then the margin can be much be better for you because you're not spending three-and-a-half years on it. So I think if you're doing documentary films, that's sort of the way to look at it.

Liz Garbus

All you have to do is say "yes." Don't make some big project out of it. Don't make some big deal out of it. Just say "yes." You don't even know what it means to say "yes," but you say it anyway. You'll never know what it means to say "yes," but you do it anyway. Freedom and Love arise when you die into the unknown mystery of being.

Adyashanti

I'm not going to lie. I'd love to have the mic in my hand opposite of Dixie Carter in the ring and say my piece, say what's on my mind. And if she's willing to sit there and listen to it, I think it could make for some great television.

Austin Aries

I always kind of say to people, don't believe the hype. You are never as good as what they say; you are never as bad, and remember that you do it just to make you happy and to enjoy it.

Beth Hart

I sleep. I dream. I make up things that I would never say. I say them very quietly.

Richard Siken

When I make a film, I never want the film to become a vehicle of social propaganda. If I wanted to do that, I'd make documentaries.

Norman Jewison

The difference between Namath and me is that when you make the money he makes, they say you're ruggedly handsome. When you make the money I make, they say you have a big nose. (On resembling Joe Namath)

Jim Valvano

They always say if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere, but I say that about Cleveland.

Machine Gun Kelly

Because it is gone you cannot say it will not return; even though you may say it has never yet returned-you cannot say that it will not. It is blasphemy to say a bit of metal has destroyed life, just as it is presumptuous to say that because life has disappeared it has been destroyed. I stood among the heaps of the dead and I knew-no, I felt that death is only a sound we make to signify the Thing we do not know.

Robert Leckie
