"Iam not greedy,

I do not seek to possess

the major portion

of your days.

Iam content if

on those rare occassions

whose truth can be stated

only by poetry

you will, perhaps,

recall an image -

even only the aura

of my films

And what more could I possibly ask

as an artist

than that your

most precious visions,

however rare,

assume, sometimes,

the forms of my images"
