Quotes

  • 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.
  • The desire to be loved is really death when it comes to art.
  • We are confused and bemused, and think that it’s a momentary delusion that will soon dissipate, leaving our lives to continue as they were.
  • I'm always working on the same thing, the creation of an identity. It's mysterious: We think identity is genetically given, but I believe there is creative will involved with the decision of who we are going to be. All my movies are concerned with this.
  • I know that many artists feel that they are frauds - that's part of the pleasure of creativity.
  • I'm an atheist, and so I have a philosophical problem with demonology and supporting the mythology of Satan, which involves God and heaven and hell and all that stuff. I'm not just a nonbeliever, I'm an antibeliever - I think it's a destructive philosophy.

David Cronenberg (Toronto, 15 marzo 1943) è un regista, sceneggiatore, attore, produttore cinematografico e direttore della fotografia canadese. È ritenuto pioniere del genere cinematografico indicato come body horror, che esplora il terrore dell'uomo di fronte alla mutazione del corpo, all'infezione e contaminazione della carne, intrecciando l'elemento psicologico della storia con quello fisico. Nella prima metà della sua carriera Cronenberg ha esplorato questi temi soprattutto attraverso l'horror e la fantascienza, sebbene i suoi lavori si siano successivamente spinti al di là di questi generi approdando anche al noir. Nel 2018 gli è stato conferito il Leone d'oro alla carriera.
