Jonathan Demme Documentaries Quotations

I don't think of Storefront Hitchcock or Stop Making Sense as documentaries, I think of them more as performance films.

It's such a rich experience when you enter into a subject from a documentary point of view. It's hard for fiction to compete with that.

I love doing fiction. I love doing performance films and I love doing documentaries that don't have music. I love to shoot and I love to shoot things I'm enthusiastic about.

Everything I've made - it doesn't mean they've all been good - but everything I've made so far, big or little, fiction or documentary, has been something that I've been really enthusiastic about.
