- David Cronenberg:
- "For me, the first fact of human existence is the human body. That is the most real fact we have. The further from your own body you get, the less real everything is, the less verifiable, the less you connect with it. But if you embrace the reality of the human body, you are embracing your own mortality."
- "I see technology as being an extension of the human body"
- "The audience is complicit in the violence and then they have to be complicit in the results of it as well. If you're gonna like the violence then you have to accept the consequences [...]"
- "The basis of horror - and difficulty in life in general - is that we cannot comprehend how we can die. Why should a healthy mind die, just because the body is not healthy? How can a man die a complete physical wreck, when his mind is absolutely sharp and clear? There seems to be something wrong with that. It's very easy to see why many philosophers detach the mind from the body and say, "The answer is that after the body dies the mind continues to work somehow." But I don't believe that. All cultures try to come to some kind of accord with this reality. But I don't think anybody's really successfully done it to the extent that men walk around completely integrated."
- Wes Craven:
- "You don’t enter the theatre and pay your money to be afraid. You enter the theatre and pay your money to have the fears that are already in you when you go to a theatre dealt with and put into a narrative.”
