I like Cronenberg's early work; his '80s films had all these weird, amorphous flesh objects in them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was old enough to go to movies alone, I got to see 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula' on the big screen. I just fell in love with them.
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.
I was watching Monster's Ball, which is a fabulous movie. It's just a little gem: beautifully shot, and shot in a way I never would have done. It made me feel very old, really, because it wasn't eccentric for its own sake, it was just very original.
I love films for the fact that it is like working under a microscope. It is sort of like a laboratory.
A film that I love is 'Deliverance' from back in the day. You start out with these archetypal characters - the hero, the bookworm, the pacifist - and by the end, it's all turned upside down. I love that.
David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists.
The skin of my character in 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' was some concoction, a spermatozoon of an alien nature that was obscene and weird-looking.
I think I've made some pretty decent films in the '80s and '90s.
I really like Larry Clark's films, as weird as that is. I like Richard Kern films.
I did love horror films from the '70s and '80s. That was my sweet spot.
