Nobody's seen all my work. No one. No one in the world has seen all my movies. Some things just never came out... some things may still come out.
Rutger HauerThe funny thing is most people don't approach me because they are scared, and that's fine, I want to keep it that way. But the thing is if you're not scared or get over it you learn that sometimes what you're scared of is really what you shouldn't be scared of.
Rutger HauerIf you've done what you need to do, you need to go bury yourself, because what else are you going to do? I think that that's where life stops.
Rutger HauerI think one third of my work is with first-time directors because I think I should, you know? Really, the difference between a first-time director and a second- or third-time director - I mean there's no director who makes enough movies anyway - but if they're talented, they have it. And there is no movie that is perfect.
Rutger HauerIt doesn't matter who's directing, or who's doing the movie; there are a ton of things that can go wrong, and they do all the time. So you just have to figure out how to get through it, and then how the director finally puts it together, and then see what the audience takes from it. That's the most important thing to me.
