"I realize my way of thinking about films is inverted from almost everyone else’s. I make films because I hate films. And I feel safe telling you that because you hate films too. You’re a critic, not a cineaste (or, more colloquially, a “cinephile”). And I’m a filmmaker, not a cineaste. Mencken maintained that the critical impulse and the artistic impulse are the same."

We never speak only one language.

The problem is not whether we speak one language or more than one language. The problem is that the nature of language itself and language expression has nothing to do with any monadic absolute ("absolute metalanguage"), any one way of expressing or one acceptable “right” set of words used to express; a writing set in stone. You can‘t think of language without including human interaction.

"Artists must first of all distinguish themselves from members of the adjacent professional classes typically present at art world events: dealers, critics, curators, and caterers. They must second of all take care not to look like artists. This double negation founds the generative logic of artists' fashion."

"Surrealism will usher you into death, which is a secret society. It will glove your hand, burying therein the profound M with which the word Memory begins. Do not forget to make proper arrangements for your last will and testament: speaking personally, I ask that I be taken to the cemetery in a moving van."

"Painting its own time zone, its own climate, dawn is a land of petrified forests and sleeping beauties, when dry leaves, hardened by frozen dew, become ghost hands, and deer slouch through the woods, waiting for their food to defrost."
