I was having a conversation with David Byrne a couple of weeks ago. He was saying that it takes at least three years to know what the hell you were going on about in any song you write. And I was going, “That is so true. That's so correct.” Looking back now, I know exactly what Dry and Rid of Me are about. I get them completely. But I didn't have a clue at the time. You see, it all goes in here... [gestures to her heart in her tiny chest] and you don't know how or when it will come out again.

As I've often said, you make the movie to find out why you wanted to make the movie. You really don't know at the beginning everything about it: what attracts you to it, why you wanted to make it. Part of the compulsion to finish it through all the difficulties that are there is that you want to find out what it was that you were doing, why it was that you were doing this in the first place.
— David Cronenberg
