[on his Oscar nomination for 'If a Tree Falls'] I think that everything has a point-of-view, whether it's the New York Times or CNN. This movie has a point-of-view. It's complex. It reflects the way our team really sees this story. It's not because I have some slavish obedience to 'he said, she said' journalism.

I want to dedicate this to my mom, who grew up on a peach farm in Chesterfield, South Carolina. She was the best storyteller I ever knew. She always had a story about some crazy thing that happened, with her siblings when she was growing up, or some weird dog that she had seen, or something the taxi driver had told her about his life that would break your heart. I learned from watching her that a well-told story is a powerful thing. It can change the way we see the world, and it can help us to notice other people and care about those other people and maybe love each other a little bit more. So this is for her and for all the storytellers.
