We made the picture as a feeling about men and what men do and how they won’t give in to the world they live in. We’d like to take people on our trip with us, to break all the conventions that bug us without being moralists about anything. We rejected the idea of delivering any kind of ‘message’. From the very beginning we made a pact that we would try to find whatever truth was left in ourselves and talk about that. Sometimes the scenes would reflect things that we didn’t like to find out: how idiotic we were or how little we had to do with ourselves, how uptight we were. We felt that it was important to find a way to have the courage to put that out on the line for whatever it was, even if the picture itself would not be exciting. One of the reasons we did that is because, I think, all three of us felt one thing, and one thing very strongly. That was the idea that there wasn’t enough individual expression, bad or good. We wanted to break down every convention that had restricted us in the past.
