[iggi Pop] Is Very Self-taught, Self-educated, But,

I Like That Cartoons Are Now Not Only Animated Drawings, They Are A Way Of Doing Something: 'that Song Sounds Very Cartoony', Or 'he Has A Cartoon Face'. Like The Word 'poetic', Which Usually Means Something Different Than A Poem. But Most Of All Cartoons Are Comforting, That's The Real Reason I Need Them.

The Beauty Of A Movie Is That You Walk In, You Don't Know Anything About It, You Enter A World That's New To You, And That's The Magic Of Being Transported.

I Realized, "gee, You're Making The Same Film Over And Over Here." I Just Kept Making Them For My Own Amusement, But Also With This Thought In My Head That I Could Collect Enough Songs To Make An Album Out Of It. I Am Attracted To Non-dramatic Moments In Life. The Idea Of A Coffee Break Is Not Something You'd Think Of As Being An Important Part Of Your Day, So These Shorts Were Like Little Free Zones In Which We Could Just Play Around.

I Have A Real Respect For Tobacco As A Substance, And It Just Seems Very Funny How The Western Attitude Is, "wow, People Are Addicted To This, Think Of All The Money You Can Make Off It."

When I Studied With Nicholas Ray He Was Always Telling Us, "if You Want To Make Films, Watch A Lot Of Films, But Don't Just Watch Films, Go Take A Walk, Look At The Sky, Read A Book About Meteorology, Look At The Design Of People's Shoes. Because All Of Them Are Part Of Filmmaking." So I Thought, Perfect! That's A Good Job For Me.
