David Cronenberg Quotes

If you put yourself in a group of people you cannot work with it’s obviously going to be a disaster Picture Quote #1

Long live the new flesh Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

For example I don’t work with William Hurt the same way that I will work with Viggo. They’re 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 don’t impose that on the actors Picture Quote #1

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. It’s impossible to do Picture Quote #1

I never thought I was doing the same thing as directors like John Carpenter, George Romero, and sometimes even Hitchcock, even though I’ve been sometimes compared to those other guys. We’re after different game Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Let’s 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 he’s still the lead character Picture Quote #1

Re-writing is different from writing. Original writing is very difficult Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

To me it’s very obvious there are huge cultural differences between Americans and Canadians. But a lot of what we are is American Picture Quote #1

The filmmaking process is a very personal one to me, I mean it really is a personal kind of communication. It’s not as though its a study of fear or any of that stuff Picture Quote #1

We are at a major epoch in human history, which is that we don’t need sex to recreate the race. You can have babies without sex. This is the first time in human history that has been true, and it means, for example, we could do some extraordinary things Picture Quote #1

You’re seeing me develop, not only as a filmmaker if you’ve seen my earlier films, but you’re seeing me kind of learn how to be a human, how my philosophy has evolved Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind writing so I didn’t find that difficult, it’s just a question of finding the time to do it. I kind of like the direct connection with the fans actually, it’s pretty neat Picture Quote #1

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 you’re going to try to apply to them Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When I am creating art, I have absolutely no social responsibility. It’s like dreaming Picture Quote #1

The problem with doing a schlocky or big budget studio film is that it wouldn’t actually be fun for me. It wouldn’t be exciting Picture Quote #1

I see technology as being an extension of the human body Picture Quote #1

Nah, I’ve done sex scenes before, you know, like in video Picture Quote #1

Consciousness is the original sin: consciousness of the inevitability of our death Picture Quote #1

I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation Picture Quote #1

More blood! More blood! Picture Quote #1

The desire to be loved is really death when it comes to art Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind writing so I didn’t find that difficult, it’s just a question of finding the time to do it. I kind of like the direct connection with the fans actually, it’s pretty neat Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You need language for thought, and you need language to anticipate death. There is no abstract thought without language and no anticipation. I think the anticipation of death without language would be impossible Picture Quote #1

I like to laze around. I think that’s a huge part of creativity. You have to let your mind relax and then another part of your brain suddenly connects with the solution you’re trying to find Picture Quote #1
