Most people ask me questions based on a previous interview. That's not an interview. It's like they're just saying my quotes back to me.

It's interesting to watch people go through it in something like this. I mean, what other then Melancholia films do they portray depression in?

You lose like five pounds immediately, and your face is glowing and gorgeous!

You really can't explain how you do the things you do. I can't, anyway. I love certain actors, but sometimes they say the stupidest things about technique. I don't want to say something stupid.

I feel like everyone directs their own career according to their taste, what they migrate to emotionally and what kind of artists they want to work with.

I like people more undone than made up. Patricia Arquette is the ultimate. She's not anorexic or perfectly tan, she's not trying to be anything but what she is, and that's the most sexy thing.

I mean look at Antichrist. He's not making films to be liked by everyone, so why is this so surprising coming from Lars von Trier?
