Making a movie is casting a spell.

I've never made a film using dialogue or speech.

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

Some very famous directors have started in the mail room, which is just getting inside the studio, getting to know people, getting to know the routine.

I try to remember dreams, and occasionally I'll make a note or two in a notebook if it's something extra interesting. They do mean quite a lot to me, and they don't happen all that often. In other words, I don't have some kind of loud, Technicolor dream every night. But a few times a month, I'll have a rather interesting dream. They're mostly visual - oddly enough, I don't have much dialogue in my dreams. They just don't speak.

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

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.
