David Paul Cronenberg is a Canadian film director, screenwriter, producer and actor. He is a principal originator of the body horror genre, with his films exploring visceral bodily transformation, infectious diseases, and the intertwining of the psychological, physical, and technological. Cronenberg is best known for exploring these themes through sci-fi horror films such as Shivers (1975), Scanners (1981), Videodrome (1983) and The Fly (1986), though he has also directed dramas, psychological thrillers and gangster films.

Studio characters
“All stereotypes turn out to be true. This is a horrifying thing about life. All those things you fought against as a youth: you begin to realize they're stereotypes because they're true.”
“We are confused and bemused, and think that it’s a momentary delusion that will soon dissipate, leaving our lives to continue as they were.”
“I know that many artists feel that they are frauds - that's part of the pleasure of creativity.”
“I think all my movies are commercial. That's my delusion. I thought Naked Lunch was wildly entertaining, so what do I know?”
“Everybody's a mad scientist, and life is their lab. We're all trying to experiment to find a way to live, to solve problems, to fend off madness and chaos.”
“Censors tend to do what only psychotics do: they confuse reality with illusion.”
