I Think Of Myself As An Amateur

I Like That Cartoons Are Now Not Only Animated Drawings, They Are A Way Of Doing Something: 'that Song Sounds Very Cartoony', Or 'he Has A Cartoon Face'. Like The Word 'poetic', Which Usually Means Something Different Than A Poem. But Most Of All Cartoons Are Comforting, That's The Real Reason I Need Them.

I Love John Ashbery. He's The - Really The Poet Laureate Of English Language Poetry, Whether He's Given That Or Not, He Is To Me.

It's A Sad And Beautiful World.

I Always Think The Sex Pistols And The Ramones As Very, Very Important Because They Stripped Things Down.

I Didn't Get The Degree Because In My Last Year, For My Thesis Film I Made A Feature Called Permanent Vacation And They'd Given Me A Scholarship, The Louis B Mayer Fellowship And They Made A Mistake.
