I Started Working With Friends

When I Left Ohio When I Was 17 And Ended Up In New York And Realised That Not All Films Had The Giant Crab Monsters In Them, It Really Opened Up A Lot Of Things For Me.

I Prefer To Be Subcultural Rather Than Mass-cultural. I'm Not Interested In Hitting The Vein Of The Mainstream.

Those Of Us Who Make Films Try To Make Something That We're Feeling And That We Would Like. Then We Just Hope An Audience Responds The Same Way. It's Very Important To Have The Electrical Circuit Made, But I Don't Have Control Over How People Feel When They Flip The Switch. So The Whole Idea Of Marketing Research And Test Screenings Is Just Foreign To Me.

It's A Sad And Beautiful World.

Some People Would Find Just The Rhythm Of My Films Alone To Be A Nightmare; They'd Probably Just Fall Asleep Because They Want Something Quicker. Other People Fall Into It And It Works For Them Like A Dream.
