Zitat des Tages von Leslie Cockburn:
It's a very enclosed world on Wall Street.
After reading Graham Greene and Joseph Conrad when I was a student at Yale, I wanted to live in the world they captured in their books. I had had some experience living in Africa. I was drawn to that kind of adventure.
When I was at graduate school in London, I began working at NBC News, which had a thriving documentary unit.
I have a great spouse, Andrew Cockburn, who's also a journalist.
When I was in London at NBC, I was the lowest man on the totem pole. I would go to diplomatic receptions to meet people.
In documentary films, the most difficult thing to achieve is to make something complex appear simple.
I think the greatest thing about making a documentary is your ability to just follow the story and the subject.
I covered the first Gulf War in Saudi Arabia and Israel for ABC News.
When you do a piece of journalism, you may have to cut away 95 percent of what you are experiencing.
