if a real God were actually so vain as to constantly demand worship, then he would not be worth it.

Even the most despicable person is still a human being.

I'm in Stockholm in my office. I just got here after seeing my eighth child on an ultrasound, so I'm in a good mood. It's beautiful: an energetic little skeleton.

I don't think that people in the world, in general, have too many chances.

All directors are control freaks and very obsessive. I get the feeling that directors as kids, they all have had a childhood with not too much contact with other kids. They constructed their own reality and they continue to do it. It's a funny breed, directors.

I'm not always happy when Hollywood does remakes of films, but that's usually, when they have a very, very, very good film and they take away anything controversial from it and make flatter.

I'm not lazy on set. I'm lazy in the rest of my life.
