All I knew about Ethiopia was from a few records that I like as well as what I read about the famine. But you get there and it's another world. It's filled with art and music and poetry and intellectuals and writers - all kinds of people.

My films are an extension of my poetry using the white screen like the white page to be filled with images.

Blessed be God that Thou hast filled the soul of Thy servant with joy and peace in believing.

I know that. I'm having a ball. I'm not slap happy. I'm just filled up with joy and with peace and with all kinds of things that have eluded me for quite a few years. And they're back and they're thriving.

None of the abstract concepts comes closer to fulfilled utopia than that of eternal peace.

The stars that nature hung in heaven and filled their lamps with everlasting oil give due light to the misled and lonely traveller.
