Frasi di David Cronenberg

1/15

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.

2/15

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

3/15

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

4/15

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

5/15

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

6/15

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

7/15

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.

8/15

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.

9/15

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.

10/15

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.

11/15

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

12/15

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

13/15

Il desiderio di essere amati è in realtà la morte quando si tratta di arte.

14/15

Quando creo arte, non ho assolutamente alcuna responsabilità sociale. È come sognare.

15/15

Ognuno di noi è uno scienziato pazzo e la vita è il suo laboratorio.
