If it were possible to enter any film’s time/location/stylisation etc, which one of yours would you choose to dwell in and why? I’m really happy not to be in any of my movies. There’s a sense in which you create a film in order to experience something that you are not really living in. So that would be anathema to me, I would not want to live in any of those movies. In fact, for me, part of the reason you make a movie is to experience something that intrigues you, perhaps disturbs you, you need to deal with it, experience it somehow but you need it to be at a distance from you. You need it to be safely encapsulated the way a grain of sand is encapsulated in a pearl by an oyster. It’s an irritation. You hope you have created these movies that are like pearls but you wouldn’t want to be inside them because inside them is that grain of sand or worse. — David Cronenberg
