My voice is the only material thing in which I can still reveal myself. Go ahead and cut off the hand or the testicles of a voice.

Francis Ford Coppola did this early on. You tape a movie, like a radio show, and you have the narrator read all the stage directions. And then you go back like a few days later and then you listen to the movie. And it sort of plays in your mind like a film, like a first rough cut of a movie.
