If the work is pure then you have to think it could be understood. If it is not understood it doesn't mean that your work is not accessible. It doesn't worry me, but, of course, I would be pleased if people liked my work.
No, I don't make my work in order to challenge or confuse other people's expectations - I only do what I find natural.
I am intrigued enough to want to continue, and also to try and work with companies like Sony on modifying the cameras and making them more user-friendly and efficient.
I like to work my camera as if it were a musical instrument.
Obviously, I try to make the films work for an audience. That's the main point of making a film, and in retrospect, one can see that certain films, let's say Leaving Las Vegas, demonstrated its own success.
I burned out on AIDS and did no AIDS work for a couple of years. I was so angry that people were still getting this disease that nobody can give you - you have to go out and get it!
I actually may do a musical next year... not one that I've written; one that I may star in. Plus my concert and other people's work and all of a sudden you've got a very full life.
To work all the time is to be incredibly lucky.
So, did I work with Warhol? I worked with him less on that play then I did on other things. He actually did a portrait of my rabbit and some other stuff. Warhol was definitely... Warhol.
I don't plan a career. That doesn't work for me. I just have to go with my gut.
I think everything I do is my early work. I can't wait to get on to the later stuff.
In a show or a movie, one must work with many people. Many women just don't have the time for it.
A songwriter should have friends who are similarly interested; should move about in the milieu of work he has chosen for himself.
It became evident to me that there was a very serious political element at work. I know that the term impeachment was bandied about. I do not believe, however, that the word was used with the ferocity it was more recently or that it was in the Nixon years.
I joined the Actors Studio and began to work with Lee Strasberg, and that changed my work.
