“I always try to make time for me to live. For me life is bigger than films. Life for me is the source of what I do. I couldn’t be just working all the time making films– because when I’m making a film I’m not living.”

“Looking through the lens of a camera can feel like witnessing a chemical reaction, and I liked the idea of documenting the explosion.”

Any creative act works towards an otherness. You experience it a few times and you hope that it will come back, but you don’t know if it will. The playing is sometimes just a ritual and if you are lucky you get beyond it. You have to build into the ritual the possibilities of that happening.”

In 1963 Akio Suzuki was employed in a Tokyo architect’s office. While designing staircases, he realises that his drawings looked like the lines of a musical stave. “How would it be” he says ” if I could make a staircase that wouldn’t tire you out, that would be a pleasure to use? If I could make a perfect staircase that looked like a stave, then I could drop ping pong balls or tin cans down the stairs and they would make a beautiful sound.”

What’s a little bit sad is that you can only do it once, MAKE MUSIC INNOCENTLY in a style you have no clue about, not to care about details and just do what you like. I wish I could have appreciated that a bit more.

I am an Anarchist. I don’t believe in any kind of politician and I am not so interested in economic things and materialism, so it’s my dream to continue this so that people get a feeling that brings them much more together.
I DON’T LIKE TO BE A LEADER – you must believe this – and if someone tries to be a leader, there is no Anarchy.
