Michael Winterbottom's quotes
- [on 9 Songs (2004)] Cinema has been extremely conservative and prudish. I wanted to go to the opposite extreme and show the relationship only through sex.
- When I was at university, the film club always showed In the Realm of the Senses (1976) at the start of a new year to get people to join. It was full of explicit sex, yet you can buy it in HMV now.
- Why can a writer engage in sexual imagery with no restrictions and yet a film author can't do the same?
