I've not run across anything by Kubrick on it, anyway. I've seen things indicating that while they disagreed on the "meaning", there was never any acrimony over it (though I could have missed things indicating otherwise....); but, given Kubrick's approach and Clarke's... yes, I can see where they'd each see different things there... and that's one of the neat things (to me) about such a film... it can bear several interpretations, all quite valid, and so it always has something new to say to you.....
