“When you look at history, every major movement, the first thing they d...” — Christopher Wylie Quote

“When you look at history, every major movement, the first thing they do is create an aesthetic. Think about the Nazis. Or the Maoists in China. Any kind of revolution has an aesthetic, and that's because one of the fundamental human universals that everybody in every culture throughout time has done is wear clothes.”

“It weighs on me that I played a pivotal role in setting up a company that I think has done a lot of harm to the democratic process in a lot of countries.”

“And then you start getting into the technical side of it and the aesthetic side and with those areas you can come up with new ways to visualise things, new ways to render and use the computer to make things look different and new and stuff like that.”

“I make aesthetic movies which are grand and with some of the biggest stars. It's not fair to run them down. I don't make tacky films.”

“I was once described by one of my critics as an aesthetic fascist.”
