"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 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 don't have the social responsibility of a citizen. You have, in fact, no social responsibility whatsoever."
-David Cronenberg
