Then we were told well,
we cant start until Bruce Conners is ready
I havent been pimped out and I dont
ever want to be pimped out, as to any particular style
Some people know me as a film maker, and nothing else
And the same thing applies to me as a photographer,
an assemblage artist, drawings, and other works
Somebody says I like your work I have to find out
what theyre talking about
They may not know I do anything else except one thing
I dont know how I came to be making film except I was
interested in film
I went to movies all the time
And in my own mind I had a very long, complex movie,
made, and expected someone to make this, and nobody did
Do I like being tagged as the father of music videos?
Not my fault
I would demand a DNA test
Bruce Conners here! [cheering]
Yeah
He said hed give you some real music
When I was in grade school, they had some music lessons,
and I didnt believe those little black notes, at all I
didnt pay attention, Do Re Mi
This was generally my procedure for almost
every activity that Ive been seriously involved in

of this energy and stuff Yeah
Oh, well, Ive had a lot of talk about art
from time to time, certainly when Im at school
And I discovered everyone had their own point of view
Of course a simplist--
simplistic point of view,
was I know it when I see it Thats not art
