“For me it was a terrifying experience, it being my first movie, and being intimidated by stars, David Bowie being a huge star at that time in England…I met David and Catherine Deneuve separately, and I think David had some misgivings about the screenplay, and I think in the end he had some misgivings a little bit about the final movie, he thought it might be a little too self-conscious, and he might be right…But in the end he trusted, and jumped aboard.”

Tony Scott, audio commentary for the DVD The Hunger (2004)
