Here, in my solitude, I have the feeling that I contain too much humanity.

A film causes me so many worries and such a lot of reactions that I have to love it in order to get over it and past it.

Death: Do you never stop questioning? Antonius Block: No. I never stop.

Sometimes I go for days without speaking to a soul. I think, “I should make that call", but I put it off. Because there’s something pleasurable about not talking. But then I love talking, so it’s not that. But sometimes it can be nice. It’s not like I sit here philosophizing, because I’ve no talent for that. It’s just this thing about silence that’s so wonderful.

Self-portraiture is something one should never get involved in, since it is wrong to lie even though one endeavours to tell the truth.

I am conscious about myself and everything, and then suddenly, or slowly, my conscious fades out. Switches off. And it's not existing, and that's a marvelous feeling. That from existing, I am not existing. And at that moment, nothing can happen to me.

To shoot a film is to organize an entire universe.
