In the 1970s, a lot of critics didn't understand video. I got a lot of bad reviews. But film-makers didn't understand what we were doing, either. There were actual fistfights between film-makers and video-makers. I was witness to one.

I absolutely refuse to accept the fact that any country in the world goes into a kind of film-making crisis.
