I’m having a vacation and it’s so beautiful and maybe I’ll never get another film idea in my life.

You know, I really do have some morals. I do actually care about people. And I do have a political standpoint.

Perhaps the only difference between me and other people is that Ive always demanded more from the sunset.

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

I think working with actors is a little bit how a chef would work with a potato or a piece of meat. You have to kind of have a look at the potato or the piece of meat and see what kind of possibilities are in the ingredient. I know I'm using the wrong metaphor. I think my job is to see what potato is there and from there, just work under their conditions.

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.

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. I would say that especially the part of the film that has to do with therapy is humoristic because people who know about this form of therapy would know that the character is more than a fool.
