—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because you’re making a horror film doesn’t mean you can’t make an artful film.”
—David Cronenberg (b. 1943)
“Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.”
