Alex Gibney Good Quotations

I think the future of journalism is going to be a battle between caution and recklessness. And I think a little bit of recklessness is a good thing, as some of the WikiLeaks cables proved.

When we go to war, our politicians will be guided by our popular will. And if we believe that torture 'got' bin Laden, then we will be more prone to accept the view that a good 'end' can justify brutal 'means.'

The whole macho thing has to be reexamined. Because in my view, the Bush administration was weak, not strong. To engage in a policy of torture is a weak policy. Because ultimately, it encourages the terrorists. It undermines our own values. It corrupts our system. And it doesn't get good intelligence.

Every film may not be appropriate for a theatrical release, and the theatrical business is not a very good business for anybody except the distributor.

I don't consider myself a very good talker or writer but a pretty good filmmaker.

I'm a good learner. I can dig in. I knew nothing about mark-to-market accounting when I started the 'Enron' film.
