Life Is Beautiful. Really, It

I Tried Working Odd Jobs That Had Nothing To Do With Creating, And It Was Difficult For Me. In The End, I Just Always Loved Movies. When I'm Making A Film I Feel Most Alive, Like I'm Doing The Right Thing, And I'm In The Place Where I Need To Be.

If Richard Wagner Lived Today, He Would Probably Work With Film Instead Of Music. He Already Knew Back Then That The 'great Art Form' Would Include A Sort Of Fourth Dimension; It Was Really Film He Was Talking About.

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.

I Have No Desire For Any Type Of Introspection At All. I Don't Ever Ask Myself Any Questions. I Don't Want Answers.

I Never Cared About Making One Coherent Masterpiece With A Conventional Narrative. I Always Wanted My Movies To Have Images Falling From All Directions In A Vaudevillian Way. If You Didn't Like What Was Happening In One Scene, You Could Just Snooze Through It Until The Next Scene. That Was The Thing About Vaudeville: You Didn't Have To Worry About The Beginning And Ends Of These Things.
