I Think Of Poets As Outlaw Visionaries

I Like Repetition, But I Really, Really Like Variations, Synchronistic Things That Happen Where You're Not Really Thinking About Them.

Now In The States If You Look At The Tv, You See The Advertisements, The Tv Programmes, The Pop Videos, And The Movies, They're All The Same Style. I Think It's Very Condescending To The Audience To Assume They Only Have A Three Second Attention Span And So They Don't Leave Anything On The Screen For Any Longer. I Don't Understand That.

In Hollywood Westerns Even In The Thirties And Forties, History Was Mythologized To Accommodate Some Kind Of Moral Code. And What Really Affects Me Deeply Is When You See It Taken To The Extent Where Native Americans Become Mythical People.

I Went To Graduate Film School At Nyu, And At First I Didn't Get A Degree, Because I Took A Scholarship That Was Supposed To Pay My Tuition, And I Used It To Make A Film. For The Longest Time, I Never Actually Graduated. And About 70 Percent Of The Things I Learned There I Had To Unlearn, But 30 Percent Was Really Valuable. It's Like Mark Twain Said, "don't Let School Get In The Way Of Your Education."

Cricket Makes No Sense To Me. I Find It Beautiful To Watch And I Like That They Break For Tea. That Is Very Cool, But I Don't Understand. My Friends From The Clash Tried To Explain It Years And Years Ago, But I Didn't Understand What They Were Talking About.
