Censors tend to do what only psychotics do: they confuse reality with illusion. – David Cronenberg
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
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
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
One of the curious things about censorship is that no one seems to want it for himself. We want censorship to protect someone else; the young, the unstable, the suggestible, the stupid. I have never heard of anyone who wanted a film banned because otherwise he might see it and be harmed. – Edgar Dale
