Unfortunately, on one or both of my shoulders sits lots of anxiety and that is a controlling factor in my life.

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

If there are some people that like the film and some people that do not, that's fine for me, because I do not intend to make very broad films.

It's always been a lie that it's difficult to make films.

A film should be like a rock in the shoe.

I am crazy about my own films. The films I've just made I'm crazy about them. But then I don't see them for many years. It's like when you get a new child you're very crazy about this child but then after a few years you're like, "what was its name again?"

We start with a rehearsal where the actors kind of bring what they think should be in the scene. But we film everything, and we use cuts of this first take, also.
