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

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

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

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

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