More From Robert Rauschenberg

Well, congress gave us a billion dollars to dig the hole, this gigantic hole. bigger, much bigger than the hole in geneva, switzerland. then they canceled the machine and gave us a second billion dollars to fill up the hole. two billion dollars to dig a hole and fill it up. that is the wisdom of the united states congress and it really makes you wonder: is there intelligent life on the earth? certainly not in the united states congress.

You didn't plan to write a story; it just happened. well, it could be argued that the next thing you should do is find a hole to dig. right? so you start digging a hole and then somebody brings a body along and puts it in. that's what a story must feel like to me. it's not that you say, "i want to write a story about a gravedigger." but you're walking along and "i don't know what i'm doing here in this story,' and - boop! a shovel. "oh, interesting. ok, what does one do with a shovel? digs a hole. why? i don't know yet. dig the hole! oh, look a body."

Whenever i finish a book, i go off and have some kind of adventure. having had an adventure in my writing chair or on my writing sofa, an internal adventure, then i need to balance that off with an external adventure, so i'll go tramping through africa or whitewater rafting or float to hawaii in a martini shaker or something.

The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and i try to render this concept in my films. literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn't.

I cannot be a materialist - but oh, how is it possible that a god who speaks to all hearts can let belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery - such suffering, such dreadful suffering - and shall the short years of christ's mission atone for it all?
