TRANSCRIPT: Well, when I first saw Fischinger, that was, you know? I mean, I've never seen anything like that before. And it was just overwhelming. It doesn't mean that it's going to overwhelm everybody but it overwhelmed me because I just have never seen anything like that. And it was something that was just part of you but it sometimes takes an… some incident or something that brings certain things out of you. Or even incidents and such that they change you. But I mean good incidents… that brings a big change in your thinking. And with Oskar, I think, that came over to me, seeing his work and looking at your work you find a quality in that, where naturally he enjoys himself when he does that. I don't think I have to worry about that. But… but Oskar would see good anything that was abstract. And if it wasn't, then comes the other words, you know? That was sort of fun… go with him, yeah.
