FILMMAKING

You have to be born a director…Your job is creating mystery…You torment people with your artistic delight, scaring mother and grandmother in the middle of the night.

-- Sergei Parajanov

FIRST LOVE

First love – what a change it makes in a lad! What a magnificent secret it is that he carries about with him! The tender passion gushes instinctively out of a man’s heart. He loves as a bird sings or a rose blooms, from nature.  

-- Stanley Kubrick, Barry Lyndon

FREAKS

Even freaks need homes, countries, language, communication. The only characteristic freaks share is our knowledge that we don’t fit in. Anywhere. It is for you, freaks my loves, I am writing and it is about you. Since humans enjoy moralizing, over and over again they attack us. Language presupposes community. Therefore without you, nothing I say has any meaning.

-- Kathy Acker, Don Quixote
