“If you had to explain mankind to an alien civilisation by showing them 10 films, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre would certainly have to be one of them.”
Andrzej Zulawski

“You know, acid trips were pretty cheap at that time, so when I went to the cinema the movie would have to be something that could at least equal that experience, something like having fucking Jesus himself appear on the screen!”
Abel Ferrara

“There was an American journalist who stood up at the Cannes Film Festival [after a screening of THE PILLOW BOOK] and said ‘Why are there so many naked male bodies in this film’ I mean, had he seen the female bodies, or were they just wallpaper that are are hardly noticed anymore?”
Peter Greenaway

“I make my pictures for what Hollywood spends on lipstick.”
Maya Deren

“Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way.”
David Lynch
