I remember being very scared, because an Icelandic poet told me that not like in cinemas, where the thing that throws the picture from it, it just sends light on the screen, but this is different.

This is millions and millions of little screens who send light on some sort of electrical light, I'm not really sure. But because there are so many of them, and in fact you are watching very many things when you are watching TV, your head is very busy all the time to calculate and put it all together into one picture.

And then because you're so busy doing that, you don't watch very carefully what the program you are watching is really about, so you become hypnotised. So all that's on TV, it just goes directly into your brain and you stop judging it's right or not.

So you just swallow and swallow. This is what an Icelandic poet told me once, and I became so scared to television that I always got headaches when I watched it. But then, later on, when I got my Danish book on television, I stopped being afraid because I read the truth, and that's the scientifical truth which was much better.

You shouldn't let poets lie to you.
