“My films are all lost. Like I was lost. I appeared from the mist and into the mist I returned. They called me menacing, mysterious, unclean, lurid… but I was a star.”

Or longer:

My films are all lost. Like I was lost. I appeared from the mist and into the mist I returned. They called me menacing, mysterious, unclean, lurid… but I was a star.

Look at me there! On the screen! The organ music rising… I enter in a bejeweled headdress atop which sits the cycles of the moon. Undulating snakily, stretched sensuously out on a tiger skin rug I beckon to the weak man before me. I pantomime: Eyes ablaze and large lit up like two planets circling the sun. My skin, translucent. Eyes cast down on the prey. “
