Whatever you think of de Sade, he was a complex figure and we should not look for easy answers with him. He was, strangely perhaps, against the death penalty, and he was never put in prison for murders or anything like that.

What's really interesting about that is that a lot of these words that were incendiary in their time now seem almost harmless and laughable, because they have this archaic quality.

The truth is, I'm drawn to all kinds of things.

I read, therefore I'm interested in writers.

Whereas European films have traditionally been able to go into adult relationships. I think there's a huge audience in America for those kinds of films.

But you know, there's always a danger nowadays that films are gonna be brought up to Canada for budget reasons. And that's something that really concerns me.
