Everything is going to hell, but we should smile all the way.

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.

When I was younger, I was fascinated by David Bowie, for example. he had created an entire myth around himself. It was as important as his music.

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.

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

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.

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