I had to go away from these men and their companies [Paul Taylor, DV8] to do my own work, instead of their work. I have made pieces like Gloria which I consider to be my apprentice masterworks, out of the studio of Paul Taylor, so to speak. Those deep influences have provided a bridge for me to the works that are really my own.
– Douglas Wright, in a 16 February 1996 interview for Landfall

People will need to watch it with binoculars to get outraged.
– Douglas Wright's response to criticism from morals groups of the nudity on show

[It's] the first step to pornography.
– Women for Faith and Family Spokeswoman Connie Purdue, on the nudity in the film, before its Sunday morning TV screening on 28 October 1990
