When I was in film school, it was said that all good films were characterised by some form of humour.

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

If anyone would like to hit me, they are perfectly welcome. I must warn you, though, that I might enjoy it. So maybe it's not the right kind of punishment.

I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema.

I am a man of very many anxieties but doing strange things with the camera is not one of them.

I am not very tough with raising my children, but you can argue that to be more tough will help your children.

I always do something that I’ve never done before...
