Any adaptation is a translation, and there is such a thing as an unreadably faithful translation; and I believe a degree of reinterpretation for the new language may be not only inevitable but desirable.

We read and reread the words of the original text in order to penetrate through them, to reach, to touch the vision or experience which prompted them. We then gather up what we have found there and take this quivering almost wordless 'thing' and place it behind the language into which it needs to be translated. And now the principal task is to persuade the host language to take in and welcome the 'thing' which is waiting to be articulated.

I believe in one thing only, the power of human will.

I believe the Abominable Snowman may be real. I think there may be something in that.

I believe in a visual language that should be as strong as the written word.

I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.
