I Just Haven't Let Myself

I've Just Always Liked Watching People Dance. I Can't Explain It. It Used To Just Make Me Laugh. Sometimes You Can Tell A Lot About A Person By The Way They Shake Their Ass.

The First Time I Hung Out With [david Blaine], He Took Me To This Condemned Building, And It Had A Pizza Oven And He Crawled Into The Pizza Oven And Turned The Heat On To 400 Degrees Or Something Like That, And He Stayed In It For I Guess A Half Hour. He Came Out, And Except For One Or Two Second-degree Burns, He Was Unscathed. You Meet A Lot Of Musicians And Filmmakers And Actors, But It's Rare To Meet Someone Who Can Step Inside A Pizza Oven And Take The Heat. I Was Intrigued By That.

For Certain Things, Certain Audiences, People Will Laugh. And In Other Places, There's Dead Silence. And I Enjoy Them Both. You Try To Make Films Where It's Never One Way - Like Life.

For Me, Making A Movie Is Kind Of Like Vomiting. Not That Film Is Like Vomit, But More Like This Mass Of Ideas And Thoughts That You Have And Just Have To Put Them Out There. It's Not Even About Making Perfect Sense - It's More About Making Perfect Nonsense. I Don't Do Too Much Soul-searching Or Self-analysis. I Just Enjoy Making Things.

Spaceman 3 Was One Of My Favorite Bands Growing Up, And Jason Spaceman Is Someone I Got Along Well With. I Always Felt His Music Was Like Narcotic Gospel - There's Something Very Moody And Ethereal About It. Sun City Girls Is The Same, But Different. To Me, They're Like The Premier American Avant Music Act. They're Like The Marx Brothers Of Music. I Don't Mean They're Funny Like That, But They Turn Everything On Its Head.
