Key Quotes: “Paul actually reached out to me. He had seen a film I had done about Frank Sinatra, which he liked, and we talked about whether there might be an interesting film to be made about him. And then at some point the magic happened when Paul invited me to sit in and watch him while he made this new album, ‘Seven Psalms’, which really unlocked the whole thing.” – Alex Gibney
