I think the avant-garde often hides itself in the highly incomprehensible because they are frustrated that the real world is so boring.

It is not necessary to be too avant-garde, because you risk not being understood.

We should all be involved in the avant-garde as long as we look toward the past.

When I was a kid, the avant-garde to me was boring because it was just the flip side of being really successful.

Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.

I've hardly had an avant-garde career... If you're going to make a film, you have to try to make sure it comes out of a childlike passion, as if you're doing it for the first time.

I don't appreciate avant-garde, electronic music. It makes me feel quite ill.

It's easy to make something avant garde. To do something in the traditional way is much more brave in the sense that you're - your technique is so much more exposed because there's not all this flashy stuff to distract the viewer.

The avant-garde theater is fun; it is free-swinging, bold, iconoclastic, and often wildly, wildly funny. If you will approach it with childlike innocence - putting your standard responses aside, for they do not apply - if you will approach it on its own terms, I think you will be in for a liberating surprise.
