One of the recurring themes throughout the three-hour documentary You can see everything it’s an interview Elizabeth Holmes did with The New York Times before she went to prison.
Elizabeth talk to New York Times a reporter Amy Chozick six weeks before she went to prison for fraud. In a profile published by the newspaper, Elizabeth she was asked about movies and TV shows being made about her.
Elizabeth saying, “They’re not playing me. They’re playing a character I created.”
In You can see everything, Elizabeth and her husband Billy Evans insist she said, “They’re playing a character them created.”
In the film, we learn that the couple reached out to The New York Times to check the quote, but the paper stood by their statement. Filmmaker Nathan Fielder note that finding out the truth about the quote could determine whether Elizabeth it was honest or fake all this time.
While Billy saying that they recorded all those conversations Elizabeth by the media, they had no record of this quote. The reporter also did not record the conversation and only wrote the quote down in her notebook. Back when Elizabeth objected to the matter, the New York Times reviewed the notes and confirmed that it was reported as written in the notes.
So, what is the new 2026 update?
The New York Times shares an update on the Elizabeth Holmes quote
The newspaper sent questions to Chozickdoes not work at the Times.
“It was six weeks before Holmes went to prison for fraud. Evans had gone to the gym, and Holmes and I walked their dog, Teddy, on the beach outside their rental home in Del Mar, California. I was taking notes in my notebook. lipstick, so it was an extension of that conversation,” Chozick said. “As we were walking, I told Holmes what I had heard Jennifer Lawrence he recently withdrew from portraying her in a film. She looked over at me and said: ‘They’re not playing me. They are playing a character I created.’ As she walked a couple of steps forward, I wrote down her exact words in my notebook.”
Chozick She explained how she reviewed her notes every night, saying, “Every night when I’m out reciting, I go through my notebook and put a star next to anything that I think is a really important moment or quote and I highlight it and mark that page with a Post-it note. This quote was highlighted and there was a Post-it on the page.”
Chozick no longer has the notebook with the portion written out.
“A lot of people’s most honest reflections come when I turn on my record and just take notes. I wasn’t going to put a recorder in. Holmesin front of us as we walk on the beach. I always take notes, to jot down important values and details and incorporate my ideas in real time. I usually keep my reporter’s notebooks for a year or two before getting rid of them. My editors confirmed the quote with me in 2023, and I thought the issue was resolved. I had no idea that the quote would become part of a documentary years later. Of course, now I wish I had kept that notebook,” she said.
Chozick he said it is not true that all her conversations were recorded by Evans.
“Many of the most revealing moments came when the records were suspended,” she said. “I wrote quotes and details as the conversations unfolded.”
Chozick said this interview “stands out” because “Holmes she spoke openly, over several days, about the persona she created at Theranos. This was the first interview she had given since the start of the blood test company, and she looked and felt like a completely different person from the public figure that people remembered. How and why she created that persona was a theme we returned to several times.”
This is all that Billy Evans told about the film after its release.
