More From Ken Burns
- "Good history is a question of survival. Without any past, we will deprive ourselves of the defining impression of our being."
- "I subscribe to William Faulkner’s’ view that history is not just about what we were before but who we are now."
- "I began to feel that the drama of the truth that is in the moment and in the past is richer and more interesting than the drama of Hollywood movies. So I began looking at documentary films."
