If bitterness wants to get into the act, I offer it a cookie or a gumdrop.

Follow your own weird.

My films are an extension of my poetry, using the white screen like the white page to be filled with images.

I consider my films to be poems that are all as personal as my writing and as hand-made.

Most poets in their youth begin in adolescent sadness. I find it more rewarding to end in gladness.

Everything is Song. Everything is Silence. Since it all turns out to be illusion, perfectly being what it is, having nothing to do with good or bad, you are free to die laughing.

Being identified as a poet in France or Denmark or India one is greeted with gracious respect.
