The minute I started being recognised, I became much more discreet.

When you have a bunch of scripts that you have to read, the less you have, the better it is, because otherwise, everything is already planned and I think that's a terrible feeling.

Cinema is entertainment, and people go to the movies because they want to feel good and forget about everything.

If the guy behind the camera is not good, the pictures are bad. It's still you, and it's the same lines and everything, but it doesn't work.

Good guys need to be a little dirty otherwise they're just boring.

You usually never know what you're going to do when you're making a movie.

Cronenberg's a lot of fun, and that a lot of people don't know watching his movies. He doesn't take himself seriously. He's still reinventing himself.
