I'm in total agreement with David Cronenberg:
"As an artist, one is not a citizen of society. An artist is bound to explore every aspect of human experience, the darkest corners- not necessarily-- but if that is where one is led, that's where one must go.
You cannot worry about what the structure of your own particular
segment of society considers bad behavior, good behavior; good
exploration, bad exploration. So, at the time you're being an artist, you're not a citizen. You have, in fact, no social responsibility whatsoever."
