You try to make a little bit of mystery and a bit of a story, but you want it to be able to bend back upon itself and get lost.\"\n\n\"It was called... Woodcutters from Fiery Ships... Certain events have happened in a bungalow which is behind another in Los Angeles. And then suddenly the woodcutters arrive and they take the man who we think has witnessed these events, and their ship is... uh, silver, like a 30`s kind of ship, and the fuel is logs. And they smoke pipes.\" (David Lynch, in The Guardian, November 1999)",
