Everybodys a mad scientist, and life is their lab. Were all trying to — David Cronenberg

"Omnisexuality is the term that I use in Hysteria. There seems to be a strain of pure sexuality that can embody itself in any possible way, female, male, something else. This is the first time I’ve ever articulated this, but I think I’m most interested in that essence of sexuality that seems to be able to take many forms but has still a specific feel and tone to it that we all recognize. You can’t really define it as male or female. I’m very fascinated with the way in which maleness and femaleness is specifically physical. but not necessarily purely sexual. There is a difference amongst all those things. This takes you right back to the mind/body schism that I go crazy with all the time."

"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 know that many artists feel that they are frauds - thats part of the pleasure of creativity."

"Im 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. Im not just a nonbeliever, Im an antibeliever - I think its a destructive philosophy."

"Im always working on the same thing, the creation of an identity. Its 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 think all my movies are commercial. Thats my delusion. I thought Naked Lunch was wildly entertaining, so what do I know?"
