When I was 13 I decided to stop eating meet and fish. This was in part because of the cruelty that I perceived in the act of eating flesh from other creatures and also because my family were ravenous meat eaters. I didn’t want to be just like them… when I turned 23 I ate a steak. Just like that. It was wonderful. It had been so long. After that I ate as much flesh as possible: especially raw fish. I loved raw fish. Five years ago I took a vow: I was no longer going to eat meat of any kind. It was too cruel and not how I wanted to live my life. My wife and I made a pact.

Nung Hsin Hu’s film Meet made me laugh (nervously), and think of clowns, Chucky, Stanley Spencer and the Smiths. I hate Morissey. He’s a real whiner. But I appreciate his anti-meat eating stance. Nung Hsin Hu’s film is like a bad circus: scary, low-tech and very very dark. You can’t really see for the blackness but the ideas are rich – you can almost smell the flesh. To be honest I miss sashimi.
