Frasi di David Cronenberg

1/12

Tutti siamo scienziati pazzi e la vita è il nostro laboratorio. Tutti stiamo sperimentando per trovare un modo di vivere, per risolvere problemi, per convivere con pazzia e caos.

2/12

The desire to be loved is really death when it comes to art.

3/12

We think identity is genetically given, but I believe there is creative will involved with the decision of who we are going to be.

4/12

So not only can you not imagine dying, you can't really imagine existence before you were born.

5/12

Censors tend to do what only psychotics do: they confuse reality with illusion.

6/12

When I am creating art, I have absolutely no social responsibility. It's like dreaming.

7/12

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.

8/12

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.

9/12

It was apparent to me that religion was an invented thing, a wish-fulfillment thing, a fantasy thing. It was much more real, dangerous, to accept that mortality was the end for you as an individual. As an atheist, I don't believe in an afterlife, so if you're thinking of murder, if your subject is murder, then that's a physical act of absolute destruction because you're ending something, a body, that is unique. That person never existed before, will never exist again, will not be karmically recycled, will not go to heaven, therefore I take it seriously.

10/12

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 they're stereotypes because they're true.

11/12

Pensiamo che l'identità sia data geneticamente, ma io credo che ci sia una volontà creativa coinvolta nella decisione su chi vogliamo essere.

12/12

I censori tendono a fare quello che fanno soltanto gli psicotici: confondono la realtà con l'illusione.
