„I consider myself an existentialist and an atheist, and I think that body is what we are. That’s not diminishing it to me, it’s just accepting the reality of it. So, if the human body is the first fact of human existence, then immediately you see why I focus on the body.“ – Marlow Stern: David Cronenberg on ‘A Dangerous Method,’ Robert Pattinson’s Acting, and S&M With Keira Knightley.
