1
00:00:00,003 --> 00:00:02,920
(thoughtful music)

2
00:00:06,175 --> 00:00:09,175
(drawers scraping)

3
00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:14,453
- [Cindy] Did you know

4
00:00:14,453 --> 00:00:18,720
they have press-on nails
for pedicures? (laughs)

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:19,553
- [Speaker] Wait a minute.

6
00:00:19,553 --> 00:00:20,820
- I haven't tried them yet,

7
00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:23,040
but I'm really dying to try them,

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,310
isn't that crazy? (chuckles)

9
00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:28,440
I'm thinking of just wearing them myself

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,690
just for a party, just
as a joke, you know?

11
00:00:30,690 --> 00:00:34,050
I mean, they just, I mean,
except these aren't as obvious.

12
00:00:34,050 --> 00:00:35,160
These are maybe more obvious

13
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:36,477
because they have little
polka dots on them

14
00:00:36,477 --> 00:00:37,477
and they just look like,

15
00:00:37,477 --> 00:00:40,707
"Who would wear little
polka dots on your toes?"

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,990
My work is not about

17
00:00:48,990 --> 00:00:52,983
kind of fantasizing about
characters or situations.

18
00:00:54,210 --> 00:00:56,940
Some people, I think, have thought that

19
00:00:56,940 --> 00:00:59,344
the characters I do were,

20
00:00:59,344 --> 00:01:02,400
yeah, like as if I've always fantasized

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,300
about being a femme fatal
or whatever, you know,

22
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:07,923
if in my film stills.

23
00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:14,493
Yeah, I don't think of
it as that literal to me.

24
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:18,180
When I'm doing the characters,

25
00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:21,390
I really don't feel like
it's some sort of something

26
00:01:21,390 --> 00:01:25,923
that grows out of my
fantasy, my own dreams.

27
00:01:29,430 --> 00:01:31,170
In college when I would do it,

28
00:01:31,170 --> 00:01:33,480
I would, you know, become a character

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,867
and then sort of think,

30
00:01:34,867 --> 00:01:37,500
"Well, gee, here I am as Lucille Ball,

31
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:40,080
and what do I do now?"

32
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,700
So then it became sort of a thing

33
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:44,100
and a little more like performance

34
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:47,770
and I started to do it
going to parties sometimes

35
00:01:48,930 --> 00:01:51,240
I remember once getting all in character

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,740
and wanting to go to some opening

37
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:55,590
and feeling like something was missing,

38
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:57,960
and then I put a pillow under the dress

39
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,410
and went as a pregnant woman.

40
00:02:00,510 --> 00:02:03,240
When I moved to New York,
I did it a few times,

41
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,580
but it suddenly wasn't the same I think

42
00:02:05,580 --> 00:02:10,580
because in the city I felt
like I needed my own sort of,

43
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,870
you know, street armor,

44
00:02:15,870 --> 00:02:19,200
or whatever to just to
deal with the street

45
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,820
and people out on the
street and the crazy people

46
00:02:20,820 --> 00:02:22,770
and the real crazy people who look

47
00:02:22,770 --> 00:02:25,050
like some of the characters
I was looking like.

48
00:02:25,050 --> 00:02:27,633
And I didn't wanna be
confused, I guess, with them.

49
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,850
That's the advantage
of being in them myself

50
00:02:32,850 --> 00:02:34,803
is I can just play around.

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,200
When I've experimented with
other people in them as models,

52
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,750
paid models or friends or family,

53
00:02:42,750 --> 00:02:47,040
I feel like I just, I don't
know what to tell them to do

54
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,000
because I don't really know

55
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,550
what it is I'm looking for until I see it.

56
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:54,220
So I tend to sort of rush
them through the whole process

57
00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:57,720
and I redo it myself
and it's like grueling.

58
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,910
So, I mean, even though I love to do it,

59
00:02:59,910 --> 00:03:01,650
it's much more work

60
00:03:01,650 --> 00:03:04,590
because, you know, I'm
like frustrated at trying

61
00:03:04,590 --> 00:03:08,910
to capture on film something
that I can't even articulate

62
00:03:08,910 --> 00:03:12,720
because I don't really know
what it is I am looking for

63
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,683
until I see it.
