Bill Viola

The very first video experience I had was in high school. They brought a black-and-white closed-circuit surveillance camera into the classroom. I will never forget, as a kid, looking at that image.

There's another world out there just beyond the world we're in. It's just on the other side of that translucent, semitransparent surface.

When you're making video, you're giving structure to time, which is what a composer does.

Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come to being.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.

I would never create an image for myself; I'm not that clever.
