The Only Thing A Master

I Am An Artist. For Me, A Picture Is Like Poetry. When You Make Art, This Is Not Coming From An Intellectual Place. It's Coming From The Deep Side Of Your Unconscious, Your Soul. And You Are Like In Some Kind Of Possession, Where You Are Doing Anything To Get The Visual. You Become Another Person. You're Becoming An Artist In Action. And Then A Lot Of Miracles Come. A Lot Of Discovering. It's A Very Complicated Thing.

Every Artist - Even If They Do Superman, They Do Batman, And Things Like That - They Are Speaking About His Life. Every Person, Every Artist Makes His Life An Artwork.

Terrorists Are Not Bad; They Are Limited By Circumstances. They Are Human Beings. I Am Very, Very, Very Sad When They Explode Themselves And Kill 40 To 60 Persons. It's Terrible. But Also, I Am Sad For Them, A Young Person Who Lost His Whole Life. It's Terrible. They Are Limited By Religion, By Politics, By Economical Interests.

Movies Have An Enormous Power To Open The Mind And The Heart And Everything. You Are Sitting And Seeing Something Moving In Front Of You, And Then Your Mind Goes Into A Trance. You Are Completely There. It's A Real Great Art; It's Not Only A Business. It's To Open The Mind, To Understand This Mystery Within Reality. This Is Why We Need It.

I Wanted To Make A Film That Gave The People Who Took Lsd At That Time The Hallucinations That You Get With That Drug, But Without Hallucinating.
