I Never Intended To Write Poems, Nor To Be A Photographer, Nor To Be A Film-maker. I Just Took Many, Many Pictures And I Would Put Them In An Album, And Then Some Years Later I Decided To Show Them And Suddenly I Was Called A Photographer. Same Thing With My Poetry. They're Notes That I'd Written In A Book And It May Be Considered Poetry.

With The Red, I Didn't Have This Impression At All. I Felt That It Was As Heavy As A Film Camera. Having This Great Crew, With The Dp And His Assistants, I Found It Making As Much Of An Impression As A Very Big Film Camera. I Didn't Relate To It As Much. I Remember Avoiding It During The Shooting Rather Than Paying Attention To It.
