Quotes edit

  • A lot of my work has to do with not allowing my characters to have an ego in a way that the stomach doesn't have an ego when it's wanting to throw up. It just does it.
    • art:21 interview: "CREMASTER 3—on location at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY" [1]

Attributed edit

  • The film moves at what I consider to be the speed of art — which is slow. Cremaster 2 does what I think sculpture does: It moves slowly and requires that one move around it to understand it, and to visit it repeatedly.
