• "Now having said that, I realize that releasing a film in the real world is like trying to get General Motors to release a handmade car.“
• "I think it's naive to pray for world peace if we're not going to change the form in which we live.“
• "So to hope to be able to have peace, to be able to have justice and environmental balance, are consequences of our behavior, not just our intentions.“
• "It is very easy to make clear what you want a film to say, but I did not wish to engage in overt propaganda, even for the right cause. I wanted to create an experience through the films, something where people could have the freedom of their own response to them.“
