We with Alix MacKenzie had decided we needed further training, and certainly Leach was the one we turned to. So we went to England this summer and we took examples of our work along with us and showed them to Bernard Leach and told him what we were trying to do.

But let flesh touch with flesh, and watch the fall of all the eggshell shibboleth of caste and color too.

The Greeks really believed in history. They believed that the past had consequences and that you might be punished for the sins of your father. America, and particularly New York, runs on the idea that history doesn't matter. There is no history. There is only the never-ending present.

Everything that I think that I need to do, is all in order to propel me to some place, that when I get there I think I will be happier.

So why don't I just take the short cut and just be happy?

Everything that you could think about in life, or experience, or be interested in, theoretically should be expressed or dealt with in cinema.

It's the kind of stuff you would cut out, and that you shouldn't have put in there to begin with.
Richard Linklater
