It's a disease of critics that once they've labeled someone, it's very hard to change their perspective. It's laziness.

Mainstream cinema raises questions only to immediately provide an answer to them, so they can send the spectator home reassured. If we actually had those answers, then society would appear very different from what it is.

As a European filmmaker, you can not make a genre film seriously. You can only make a parody.

I'm far more relaxed with German. I'm a control freak. I like to know exactly who's saying and doing what.

It's much harder to write a script that involves two people in a single location than 20 people in 30 different locations.

The dumber people are, the more they feel the need for a broad set of shoulders they can lay their head against.

An artist is someone who should raise questions rather than give answers. I have no message.
