Germans don't speak in a German accent, they just speak German.

The more articulate somebody is, the more suspicious I am of them. I like to feel that the important things remain unsaid.

Making a film, setting it up and getting it cast and getting it together, is not an easy thing

I like to cook things very slowly.

My life is devoted to self-delusion - and I have a great capacity for that - but it's the thing that gives me the most pleasure, so I can't complain about it.

Many years ago, I really didn't know where the next work was coming from.
