Domesticity Is A Fact Of How Social

I'm Very Interested In Variations.

I Think You Can Only Be Nostalgic For Something You've Lost.

I Like Repetition, But I Really, Really Like Variations, Synchronistic Things That Happen Where You're Not Really Thinking About Them.

When I Studied With Nicholas Ray He Was Always Telling Us, "if You Want To Make Films, Watch A Lot Of Films, But Don't Just Watch Films, Go Take A Walk, Look At The Sky, Read A Book About Meteorology, Look At The Design Of People's Shoes. Because All Of Them Are Part Of Filmmaking." So I Thought, Perfect! That's A Good Job For Me.

My First Film I Made, "permanent Vacation," We Shot In 1979 For Like $12,000, Part Of Which I Got A Fake Car Loan For That Amos Poe Told Me You Could Do That. And, Yeah, I Had No Idea What I Was Doing. It Was Just Like, Well, We're Going To Try And Do This. Partly Because I Had Been Following Amos Poe And Eric Mitchell Around For About A Year, And I Worked On Some Of Eric's Films As A Sound Recordist And Stuff.
