It’s my conceit that perhaps some diseases perceived as diseases that destroy a well-functioning machine actually turn it into a new but still well-functioning machine with a different purpose. The AIDS virus: look at it from its point of view. Very vital, very excited, really having a good time. It’s really a triumph if you’re a virus. See the movies from the disease’s point of view. You can see why they would resist all attempts to destroy them. These are all cerebral games, but they have emotional correlatives as well.

Since I see technology as being an extension of the human body, it’s inevitable that it should come home to roost.

My dentist said to me the other day: I’ve enough problems in my life, so why should I see your films?
