"It's hogwash to say drunkenness is no excuse for crime... Wherever mind altering drugs are on sale to the public, we should expect mind altered behaviour from the public."

Imagine that we are sitting in an ordinary room. Suddenly we are told that there is a corpse behind the door. In an instant the room we are sitting in is completely altered; everything in it has taken on another look; the light, the atmosphere have changed, though they are physically the same. This is because we have changed and the objects are as we conceive them. That is the effect I want to get in my film.
