Little people have changed from the 1970s to now.

Technology changes so much that it has forced me to adapt.

You sometimes say things over the phone to friends that you don't really mean.

People have a tendency to think I was part of Warhol's Factory - I never was. I've always been independent.

Most of my work is okay to look at on a TV screen or a flat screen, but this is actually much better in a theatre.

I don't see my work as being all that personal. I've used my personal experience in the world, of course, or at least my way of looking at the world. But I think that's changed as I've gotten older.

When people ask me what's the best thing I like, my head starts scrambling and I just can't think of anything. Depending on the day, I might say this or that. I really don't have any specific thing that I like better than others.

I'm in the art world so I use the art world a lot - or art world people as actors. I've also used television to criticize what I see on television. And now a lot of my work is made from the internet and a lot of it is made on my phone.

I always chose talkative people. And Viva, who was my first wife - we started making films together because she was extraordinarily creative. I was drawn to those people who tended to talk or act differently. The nice thing about using your friends as actors is they trust you. I wouldn't use footage of people that was destructive to them.
