‘In the break I said, “Let’s go upstairs.” We just kept going up till we got to the roof, where we leaned against the flagpole at the top of the place and lit one up.
‘If you know Washington, the White House is the hub of the spokes — the way it was designed. Most of the avenues run into the White House. You could sit up and could see all the traffic coming right at you. It’s a nice place up there.’
The documentary comes out in theaters this week.
