- Jonas Mekas: I have never been able, really, to figure out where my life begins and where it ends. I have never, never been able to figure it all out, what's all about. What it all means. So when I began, now, to put all these rolls of film together, to string them together, the first idea was to keep them chronologic. But then I gave up, and I just began splicing them together by chance, the way that I found them on the shelf, because I really did not know where any piece of my life really belongs. So let it be. Let it go. Just by pure chance. Disorder. There is some kind of order in it, order of its own, which I do not really understand, same as I never understood life around me. The real life, as they say, or the real people. I never understood them. I still do not understand them, and I do not really want to understand them.
