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

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

The cognitive therapy that takes place in the film Antichrist is a form of therapy that I have used for some time, and it has to do with confronting your fears.
