David Cronenberg Quotes
A History of More Violence?... I think not. That reminds me of somebodys joke about Gandhi - Gandhi 2: Even More Non-Violent. - David Cronenberg Quotes
All stereotypes turn out to be true. This is a horrifying thing about life. All those things you fought against as a youth: you begin to realize theyre stereotypes because theyre true. - David Cronenberg Quotes
Anybody who comes to the cinema is bringing theyre whole sexual history, their literary history, their movie literacy, their culture, their language, their religion, whatever theyve got. I cant possibly manipulate all of that, nor do I want to. - David Cronenberg Quotes
Art forms of the past were really considered elitist. Bach did not compose for the masses, neither did Beethoven. It was always for patrons, aristocrats, and royalty. Now we have a sort of democratic version of that, which is to say that the audience is so splintered in its interests. - David Cronenberg Quotes
But when youre writing a script - for me anyway - you have to sort of create an enforced innocence. You have to divest yourself of worrying about a lot of stuff like what movies are hot, what movies are not hot, what the budget of this movie might be. - David Cronenberg Quotes
But with my last film, Spider it was agony. The money was always disappearing, nobody got paid, it was very difficult - and its very distracting from the process of making the movie, of course. So I think things have been getting harder and harder. - David Cronenberg Quotes
Censors tend to do what only psychotics do: they confuse reality with illusion. - David Cronenberg Quotes
Do you remember when you found out you wouldnt live forever? People dont talk about this, but everybody had to go through it because youre not born with that knowledge. - David Cronenberg Quotes
Each kid has a different level of expertise and some of them are very raw and inexperienced and some are incredibly mature and experienced. So you just have to go with what they are rather than have some abstract technique that youre going to try to apply to them. - David Cronenberg Quotes
Even Hitchcock liked to think of himself as a puppeteer who was manipulating the strings of his audience and making them jump. He liked to think he had that kind of control. - David Cronenberg Quotes
Everybodys a mad scientist, and life is their lab. Were all trying to experiment to find a way to live, to solve problems, to fend off madness and chaos. - David Cronenberg Quotes
For example I dont work with William Hurt the same way that I will work with Viggo. Theyre different guys and they work in different ways. So a good sensitive director has his general style and technique and personality that he uses but you dont impose that on the actors. - David Cronenberg Quotes
For me, the first fact of human existence is the human body. But if you embrace the reality of the human body, you embrace mortality, and that is a very difficult thing for anything to do because the self-conscious mind cannot imagine non-existence. Its impossible to do. - David Cronenberg Quotes
I also think the relationship I have with my audience is a lot more complex than what Hitchcock seemed to want his to be - although I think he had more going on under the surface as well. - David Cronenberg Quotes
I dont have a moral plan, Im a Canadian. - David Cronenberg Quotes
I dont mind writing so I didnt find that difficult, its just a question of finding the time to do it. I kind of like the direct connection with the fans actually, its pretty neat. - David Cronenberg Quotes
I never thought I was doing the same thing as directors like John Carpenter, George Romero, and sometimes even Hitchcock, even though Ive been sometimes compared to those other guys. Were after different game. - David Cronenberg Quotes
I see technology as being an extension of the human body. - David Cronenberg Quotes
I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because youre making a horror film doesnt mean you cant make an artful film. - David Cronenberg Quotes
Im just observing the world. I was born into it, like you were, and then I found out there were some really disturbing aspects to being alive, like the fact that you werent going to be alive forever - that bothered me. - David Cronenberg Quotes
If you put yourself in a group of people you cannot work with its obviously going to be a disaster. - David Cronenberg Quotes
Lets put it this way, when I was casting, I cast Viggo first and then found someone who could play his wife, rather than the other way around. So for me hes still the lead character. - David Cronenberg Quotes
Nah, Ive done sex scenes before, you know, like in video. - David Cronenberg Quotes
Of course for many years directors have had to go on the road with their movies and promote them and Ive done that since the beginning. So thats not new but the forms of it are different such as with the internet. - David Cronenberg Quotes
Re-writing is different from writing. Original writing is very difficult. - David Cronenberg Quotes
So not only can you not imagine dying, you cant really imagine existence before you were born. - David Cronenberg Quotes
Technology is us. There is no separation. Its a pure expression of human creative will. It doesnt exist anywhere else in the universe. Im rather sure of that. - David Cronenberg Quotes
The filmmaking process is a very personal one to me, I mean it really is a personal kind of communication. Its not as though its a study of fear or any of that stuff. - David Cronenberg Quotes
The idea of a mass audience was really an invention of the Industrial Revolution. - David Cronenberg Quotes
The more unique your film is and unusual it is and difficult it is, the harder it is to get it financed. Thats why a lot of good filmmakers are doing television. They do HBO movies. - David Cronenberg Quotes
