The whole purpose of maintaining your power in government is to make sure that you stay in government. You stay in government by finding out who is liable to be against you. To do that, you try and put your finger into every single pie that is available to you. David Lloyd Read Quote
I think the Occupy movement is absolutely fantastic; in my opinion, it’s probably one of the most important people’s movements of the 21st century and the 20th century. The trouble is that nobody really wants to support what they represent. They are too ‘grassroots’ for their own good. David Lloyd Read Quote
When we were talking about this, an idea for this master vigilante, it was an urban guerilla. One of my ideas was that he would be a member of the police force who turned on the government. David Lloyd Read Quote
V is like a mythical situation. It’s an allegory for what could happen. V has philosophies within it that actually warn against things like that happening. David Lloyd Read Quote
They did offer me a chance of being a V in the crowd, but it’s not my scene. I think they just thought it would be fun for me to do that, but I don’t know. I heard that Stan Lee appears in every movie of his. David Lloyd Read Quote
Part of the plot was a knock that V wanted to bring down the government and bring chaos. I don’t know why I thought of Guy Fawkes, because it was during the summer. I thought that would be great if he looked like Guy Fawkes, kind of theatrical. David Lloyd Read Quote
Kickback is a police thriller which I wrote. I’m very proud of it. I did it in two parts for France because when I wrote it, there wasn’t the audience demand for crime stuff that there is now. David Lloyd Read Quote
But if you have a point of view and you’re an artist or a writer, it’s kind of crazy to not take advantage of that, especially if you can do something that’s entertaining as well. I’ve done a number of things like that over the years. David Lloyd Read Quote
