Art is a sense of magic.

The Hollywood movies are more like novels, and the kinds of films I make are more like poems.

Peter Kubelka is the perfectionist of the film medium; and, as I honor that quality above all others at this time finding such a lack of it now elsewhere, I would simply like to say: Peter Kubelka is the world's greatest filmmaker - which is to say, simply: see his films!...by all means/above all else...etcetera.

Novelists and poets have existed side by side forever.

It is just seeing-it is a very simple word-and to be a visionary is to be a seer. The problem is that most people can't see.

If only, then, I had been more living out of the present--such a beautiful word...present. The sense of it being, now to me, more beautiful than 'to look forward.

Poetry is a totally different art than film.
