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.

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

A lavish colored evocation of Hollywood now gone, as shown through an afternoon in the milieu of the 1920's film star.

I've made several films that haven't been shown.

This flick is all I have to say about being 17, the United States Navy, Christmas and the Fourth of July.

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.

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