To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.

- Susan Sontag, On Photography

‘Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am’ director reveals how he captured the novelist’s intimate moments

Did you have to cut anyone out?

I don’t like taking people’s time and then cutting them but we only have two hours and this could be 10 hours long. There were so many things on the cutting room floor that I wish were in there. One was a seven-minute piece with the only person I interviewed who’s not in the film, Peter Sellars, the theater director. Toni and he talk about Shakespeare and it’s a riveting, fascinating piece. She talks about her play “Desdemona,” that and her interpretation of “Othello.” It’s incredible but how important is her one play versus one of her books. So we ended up pulling that.
