I Think Of Horror Films As Art,

For Me, The First Fact Of Human Existence Is The Human Body. But If You Embrace The Reality Of The Human Body, You Embrace Mortality, And That Is A Very Difficult Thing For Anything To Do Because The Self-conscious Mind Cannot Imagine Non-existence. It's Impossible To Do.

But When You're Writing A Script - For Me Anyway - You Have To Sort Of Create An Enforced Innocence. You Have To Divest Yourself Of Worrying About A Lot Of Stuff Like What Movies Are Hot, What Movies Are Not Hot, What The Budget Of This Movie Might Be.

See, You Can't Rewrite, 'cause To Rewrite Is To Deceive And Lie, And You Betray Your Own Thoughts. To Rethink The Flow And The Rhythm, The Tumbling Out Of The Words, Is A Betrayal, And It's A Sin, Martin, It's A Sin." --hank (kerouac)to Martin (ginsberg) In The Film Naked Lunch

The Idea Of A Mass Audience Was Really An Invention Of The Industrial Revolution.

The Artist's Duty To Himself Is A Combination Of Immense Responsibility And Immense Irresponsibility. I Think Those Two Interlock.
