And I would sneak away on the Greyhound Bus to New Yorkand see the underground moviesthat Jonas wrote about. That's how I got my film education.

Martin Scorsese: There was so much dedication and solidarity of the whole community, and in the middle there was Jonas Mekas. He was the prophet, a guiding visionary spirit. He showed us the way and made us understand that there are no limits to the art of cinema.

Oona Mekas: There was always music in the house. He had this group of Lithuanian friends, people he arrived with, and they would play these incredibly sad songs. All Lithuanian folk songs are sad. Every single one of 'em.

Jonas Mekas: Here is my room, my table, my glass of wine. And here is me…by myself. Here is my hand. Here is my face…my hair…my heart. Here is my heart. Somewhere there. Here I am. Me, me. Where is me? What is me? What was my life all about? Do I still have time to do something about my life? I really don't know. God…angels, help me. I have no… …nobody but this camera. This camera! This camera…I threw it on the floor. I picked it up, and it still works. This piece of metal here in front of me is my only friend. So here I am. I'm not…I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know why I'm taping this, but…I'm taping it. That's my…life.
