"I won’t follow you with a camera for three years and hope that at some moment you get tired of me, and then become the real you. I don't believe that this is the best way to do it. But of course, there are different ways of making documentaries."

Um, yes, like not following them for three years and not staging bullsh*t out of laziness, then bloviating about some fictional higher truth that can only be reached through staging subjects.
