What I was actually trying to do in my early movies was show how people can meet other people and what they can do and what they can say to each other. That was the whole idea: two people getting acquainted.

I used to cut out paper dolls.

In the future, everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes.

I used to have the same lunch every day, for 20 years, I guess, the same thing over and over again.

People are always so boring when they band together. You have to be alone to develop all the idiosyncrasies that make a person interesting.

I really like to work a lot. It makes time go by fast.

How can you say one style is better than another? You ought to be able to be an Abstract Expressionist next week, or a Pop artist, or a realist, without feeling you've given up something.. I think that would be so great, to be able to change styles. And I think that's what's is going to happen, that's going to be the whole new scene.
