I am a man who likes to control things, and if I can't control them totally I will not control them at all.

I am crazy about time cuts. I have a theory that the audience tie everything together so they don't see time cuts but the time cuts give us the possibility of jumping in time, which means a psychological evolution can be cut down.

I grew up in a culturally radical home, where strong emotions were forbidden.

My films generally center around thousands of pictures being flashed in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion.

One of the things that got me thinking during therapy is that they say that fear is only thoughts, and nothing will happen because thoughts will never be real. And my thesis, or joke, in film Antichrist, is that they really do become real.

I am very romantic about communism even still, but I know terrible things happened.

I did a lot of strange things. But I am a bad Catholic that's for sure. Although I think it's difficult to believe in evil.
