To change history is very slow. The first two times I came to the States - black people didn't have the right to vote.

You have to invent life.

The boundaries between contemporary art and cinema are so rigid. It's unbelievable. The film critics don't know my artwork and the art world doesn't know my films.

I was free always. I could work without the money, to film this and that. But this is another point, because now I'm alone, and I can just use it when I want. I think the digital cameras have changed my view. Even though sometimes, including the installations that I show, I mix 35mm filming and video handmade.

The mirror is the tool of the one who wants to do a self-portrait. And if you want to make a photo you need a mirror.

I have respect for literature. If he found the words, if she found the words - this is a book!

I've always been like this - trying to find adventure where it's still in its first élan - the first spring.
