“I think in that context, when a generation of kids is that ignorant of their recent history, it does a good job of showing what the Pistols were standing for. It's current and it's in the air, partly because I think nothing contemporary is as extreme or as strongly stated as what The Sex Pistols were able to do in their time, in the '70s. I think the reason to [make the film] is that their ideas are still alive: the defense of the right to be an individual, and questioning everything you read, and questioning all the information that's bombarded increasingly at you.” ThinkingDoeStillsIdeasReasonKidsAbleJobsFilmIndividualSexAliveGenerationsAirInformationStandingCurrentsExtremesDefenseIgnorantContemporaryQuestioningGood JobPistolsBombardedSex PistolsQuestioning Everything Author:Julien Temple
“Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way. Being explicit doesn't tap into the mystical aspect of it either in fact, that usually kills it because people don't want to see sex so much as they want to experience the emotions that go along with it. These things are hard to convey in film because sex is such a mystery.” PeopleWayWantHardFactsFilmSexPowerfulEmotionMysteryAspectFlatsMysticalDoorwaysExplicit Author:David Lynch

“When industry people see something different they don't know what to do with it, so filmmakers who make films about women, they kind of fall through the cracks. If a woman filmmaker makes film about war, like [Kathryn] Bigelow, they say "Okay, this is a war film, it has ninety percent men in it, we know what to do with it." But then she still gets attacked for not doing it properly.

“Both sex and death are eternal themes. You could make thousands of movies on this theme, and whether you have a human being who is painting, singing, making a film, writing, these are the themes that you will come back to and return to. If you don't have any of these artistic expressions, sex is one of the only gifts that nature gave you for free, so it is very important to celebrate it. And then, with death, we are condemned to that.

“The much-vaunted sex appeal of American women is drawn from films, reviews and pin-ups, and is in large print fictitious.
