I began writing poetry when I was about 10. Bad poetry, but you start with bad poetry.

I missed my teenage years. I was never a teenager.

I make home movies-therefore I live. I live - therefore I make home movies.

An adventurer can always return home; an exile cannot. So I decided that my home would be culture.

My films are the celebration of reality, of life, of my friends, of actual daily life that passes and is gone tomorrow. We don't pay attention to it when it happens.

I'm not an abstract artist; I leave that to others. To me, abstract art ended with Kazimir Malevich's 'Black Square.' To continue it is senseless.

I'm working in a form of cinema that can be described, and has been described, as a diaristic form of cinema. In other words, with material from my own life. I walk through life with my camera, and occasionally I film. I never think about scripts, never think about films, making films.
