White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

Pictures! pictures! pictures! often, before i learned, did i wonder whence came the multitudes of pictures that thronged my dreams; for they were pictures the like of which i had never seen in real wake-a-day life. they tormented my childhood, making of my dreams a procession of nightmares and a little later convincing me that i was different from my kind, a creature unnatural and accursed.

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

The noblest art is the nude. this truth is recognized by all, and followed by painters, sculptors and poets. only the dancer has forgotten it, who should remember it, as the instrument of [the dance] art is the human body itself.

For me the journey of making a film is a journey of discovery as to what that film is. i mean what i do is what other artists do, painters, novelists, people that make music, poets, sculptors, you name it. it's about starting out and working with the material and discovering through making, working with the material the artifact.
