"If I seduce you into feeling something... then you will decide for yourself what you'll do with that feeling."

"I know nothing at all.  Nothing.  The first line comes and I start.  I always thought that I began with something talking to me, but I realized it's not true.  I begin by seeing something and then it's translated into a voice talking to me and then I follow it and see where it will go."

"I just held up the book and I said, 'This is my point.  The book is my point.'  It's my artistic expression I'm trying to communicate to you.  I don't know what I'm communicating, I'm making art.  I want to turn you on somehow and I hope you communicate back with me.  That's it.  That's my point.  I'm not trying to push an agenda on anybody.  That's for politics.  That's for essays.  That's for standing on a soap box."
