Michael Shamberg Quotations

Sensitivity and accuracy, at the end of the day, are the same thing. Because of what we've heard from the police, firefighters, civilians, the Port Authority, everyone who was there that day, loved ones - they said, 'Tell the story accurately so people understand what happened.' You can't do the Hollywood version.

We're not doing the Towering Inferno - Titanic version.

We're not doing everyone's story that day. We're trusted with the accuracy of the particular story that we're telling.

Usually, you have to tell people what a movie's about to make them care about it, but everyone has a visceral connection to Sept. 11 coming in.

We're not doing the Towering Inferno - Titanic version, ... two policemen who survived the towers' collapse and were rescued from the trade center ruins after 22 hours.
