How do you remember John Lennon?
He was a very nice person. And he gave me the money to make The Holy Mountain, through Allen Klein and Apple. He didn't want anyone to know about it, he did it anonymously. He was a fantastic person, and he really liked what I was doing. One day with John Lennon, he invited me to take tea . . . but, later, when I was shooting Holy Mountain, a Rolling Stone journalist came to interview me on the set. And we were eating and he asked to me — not as part of the interview — "What do you think about the short films John Lennon made?" And I said, "Listen, I don't like that. To see three hundred asses walking, or a fly going from one part of the body to another for half an hour, that's not a movie for me." Bueno. They published that and John and Yoko Ono both got angry. And then I sent them flowers, I said, "I never wanted to suggest . . ." But that was it broken. Our history was broken there. I've never told this story, but I am sorry about it. But it was the journalist, so, what can you do? But, still: if you ask me do I like their short pictures, I say . . . No! They are awful! I don't like them. What can I do?
