I think people dream in their own way, dreams are extremely personal, even from person to person. They are completely individual.

Well, everything is constantly evolving and changing. That's what life is all about. But basically Hollywood has lost its focus as a film center. Films are now made all over the world.

Puce Women was my love affair with Hollywood... with all the great goddesses of the silent screen. They were to be filmed in their homes; I was, in effect, filming ghosts.

I've always considered movies evil; the day that cinema was invented was a black day for mankind.

Nobody in America, in the modern generation, has read their mythology or legends.

Lucifer is the patron saint of the visual arts. Color, form - all these are the work of Lucifer.

I think it's basically quite different from dreams. If only cinema was that easy. Because dreams, all you have to do is fall asleep, and you can have fantastic vision. I know Baudelaire and people like that enhance their dreams with opium or something. But films are very constructed - they're like architecture. They're pieced together, glued together. To me, it's a craft. It's like making a tapestry.
