Even if you feel all right, tell the actors you don't have full power, and they will help you.

I think that limitations are the most important part of any art form

I can't tell you why I choose stuff, it's really something I don't analyse. The only thing I can say is that a film has to demand to be made, I don't have a plan of what films I'm going to make. The only thing that I know now is that I'm not too crazy about doing things again that I've been into before.

I'm very proud of being persona non grata. I've never been that before in my life, and that suits me extremely wellI'm known for provocations, but I like provocations when they have a purpose. And this had no purpose whatsoever. Because I'm not Mel Gibson. I'm definitely not Mel Gibson.

If you want to provoke, you should provoke someone who is stronger than you, otherwise you are misusing your power.

I understand Hitler... I sympathise with him a little bit.
