It's much more exciting not to know what's going to happen. I don't think that plot is important. If you see a movie of two people talking, you can watch it over and over again without being bored. You get involved — you miss things — you come back to it. But you can't see the same movie over again if it has a plot because you already know the ending. Years ago, people used to sit looking out of their windows at the street. Or on a park bench. They would stay for hours without being bored although nothing much was going on. This is my favorite theme in movie making — just watching something happening for two hours or so. I still think it's nice to care about people. We took a tour of in Los Angeles and, inside and outside the place, it was very difficult to tell what was real. They're not-real people trying to say something. And we're real people not trying to say anything. I just like everybody and I believe in everything. So in October '68 I shot a movie of Viva having sex with Louis Waldon. I called it just Fuck.

The only light used was the daylight coming through the window, thus making the final image very, very blue indeed. He said I was better than and it was the first time a real movie star had made love on the screen. It was a real breakthrough. I saw other pictures around town and this was a kiddie matinee compared to them. The muscle magazines are called pornography, but they're really not. They teach you how to have good bodies. I think movies should appeal to prurient interests. I mean the way things are going now — people are alienated from one another. But it wasn't done as pornography—it was done as an exercise, an experiment. But I really do think movies should arouse you, should get you excited about people, should be prurient. Prurience is part of the machine.
