The relationship between a director and an editor in documentaries is so important.

I can't believe that I'm sitting in meetings with Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Annette Bening. I want to take on that responsibility to represent all the Rogers out there who don't have a seat at the table. People of colour were not at the table, and now I am there, I want to change things.

I will always make films that champion outsiders, because I still feel like one, even though I'm now governor of the documentary branch of the Academy.
