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
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
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
Meek young men grow up in libraries, believing it their duty to accept the views which Cicero, which Locke, which Bacon, have given, forgetful that Cicero, Locke, and Bacon were only young men in libraries, when they wrote these books. Hence, instead of Man Thinking, we have the book-worm. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
