More quotes by David Cronenberg
But when you're 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
I can't imagine a life without humor. Especially if you have an existential understanding of life, you must acknowledge the absurdity of it all.
David Cronenberg
I have a real aversion to ghosts because I don't believe in them. I think ghosts are actually a religious concept, because it means you believe in an afterlife. And I don't.
David Cronenberg
I don't have a moral plan, I'm a Canadian.
David Cronenberg
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
If the audience lets that stuff wash over them, you know - almost like music, rather than dialogue - and doesn't fight it, then they'll have a much easier time rather than being sort of frustrated and confused otherwise. But if you get in the right state of mind it really does work quite well.
David Cronenberg
At a certain point the audience shouldn't worry about catching every word and understanding every twist and turn, because at a certain point that's pretty much impossible.
David Cronenberg
The desire to be loved is really death when it comes to art.
David Cronenberg
Everybody's a mad scientist, and life is their lab.
David Cronenberg
Consciousness is the original sin: consciousness of the inevitability of our death.
David Cronenberg
You have to believe in God before you can say there are things that man was not meant to know. I don't think there's anything man wasn't meant to know. There are just some stupid things that people shouldn't do.
David Cronenberg
Do you remember when you found out you wouldn't live forever? People don't talk about this, but everybody had to go through it because you're not born with that knowledge.
David Cronenberg
When I am creating art, I have absolutely no social responsibility. It's like dreaming.
David Cronenberg
I'm 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 weren't going to be alive forever - that bothered me.
David Cronenberg
Long live the new flesh.
David Cronenberg
Technology is us. There is no separation. It's a pure expression of human creative will. It doesn't exist anywhere else in the universe. I'm rather sure of that.
David Cronenberg
I'm very anti-religious because religion tends to disembody you.
David Cronenberg
Since I see technology as being an extension of the human body, it's inevitable that it should come home to roost.
David Cronenberg
Well I don't think sex and violence have ever stopped a movie from being mainstream.
David Cronenberg
As a filmmaker, I ask questions but don't have answers. Moviemaking is a philosophical exploration. I invite the audience to come on the journey and discover what they think and feel.
David Cronenberg
