becomes bloated body cerebral cinema dry energy exists insatiable kingdom neck sake sensation single skull soft subjects sucked support wished
Cinema is most totalitarian of the arts. All energy and sensation is sucked up into the skull, a cerebral erection, skull bloated with blood. Caligula wished a single neck for all his subjects that he could behead a kingdom with one blow. Cinema is this transfoming agent. The body exists for the sake of the eyes; it becomes a dry stalk to support these two soft insatiable jewels.
drag freedom maybe memories offer open people primitive unless willing
I offer images- I conjure memories of freedom that can still be reached- like the Doors, right? But we can only open the doors, we can't drag people through. I can't free them unless they want to be free. Maybe primitive people have less bullshit to let go of, to give up. A person has to be willing to give up everything- not just wealth. All the bullshit that he's been taught- all society's brainwashing. You have to let go of all that to get to the other side. Most people aren't willing to do that.

I'd hate to think I'd stop having anything to do with music, but I think that in the future, I'll tend towards an exclusive film involvement.

It's all relative, but we played well in stretches, which gave me hope for next week.
accident bow feeling ideally pulled string suddenly suited work
You could say it's an accident that I was ideally suited for the work I am doing. It's the feeling of a bow string being pulled back for 22 years and suddenly being let go...
blow forces human sensitive
I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being with the soul of a clown which always forces me to blow it at the most important moments.
activity appears freedom interested seems toward
I'm interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity that appears to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom.
america cameras coffins
...most of the press were vultures descending on the scene for curious America aplomb. Cameras inside the coffin interviewing worms.
cities doors kind
Los Angeles is a city looking for a ritual to join its fragments, and The Doors are looking for such a ritual also. A kind of electric wedding. We hide ourselves in the music to reveal ourselves.
tape machines kind
I can kind of envision one person with a lot of machines, tapes, and electronic set-ups...singi ng or speaking and using machines...
cutting thinking useless
I've always thought comparisons were useless and ugly. It is a short cut to thinking.
