I Want To Thank Gus Van Sant

Ive Never Been A Popular Person, But It Doesnt Matter. I Have Everything In My Life That I Want. Im Not A Walking Publicity Stunt. Im Not An Anarchist, Or Bitter. Im Not Trying To Be Subversive. I Just Try To Remain Unguarded, Unprotected By Fear, And Agents And Publicists, And I Feel Comfortable That Way.

I Would Be Delighted To Show My Film In The Viennale. I Do Not Offer Press Kits. I Do Not Offer Stills. I Do Not Offer Screeners. I Do Not Offer Dvd's. I Do Not Offer Posters. I Require A First-class Flight To Bring The Print However I Do Not Offer Any Photo Ops Or Press Exchange In Any Way. My Fee For Showing My Film Is $35,000 Dollars Us.

I Stopped Painting In 1990 At The Peak Of My Success Just To Deny People My Beautiful Paintings. And I Did It Out Of Spite.

I'm Talking To A Journalist And I Really Have Nothing To Say Anymore, This Is Already Uncomfortable. I Feel The Pain Coming Already. The Brutal Pain, When One Day I Should Read Your Edit Of Whatever I Say, Because No Matter What I Say, No Matter How I Say It, No Matter Its Tone, Its Frequency Range, Its Decibel Level Or The Way In Which I Put The Words Together, No Matter My Intentions And No Matter The Truth. What I'll Read One Day Will Be A Chastised, Manipulated Abortion Of Your Misunderstandings, Your Manipulations, Your Agenda And Your Amateur Use Of The English Language.
