If people hate me they hate me.

Heart of America is a movie I'm very proud of. The young actors are great and the story has impact.

I boxed 15 years in a club.

I think without the harsh critics, I would maybe have not made progress. From BloodRayne on, I spent more time and money on the development.

I like the direct contact. I want a lot of people that only know me through the mass media to learn more about what I'm doing, and to know that I'm an independent filmmaker and I'm not part of the Hollywood system. I'm coming from where they started. I'm not coming from a family with a lot of money.

Actors don't have real value.

You don't need any courage today in Germany to make a movie about the Nazi time. You get all the subsidies, you get the TV stations, you get the good reviews. But you need courage to kick in the balls all the people that are still hiding under the blanket, and to say, "Oh, Adolf Hitler was maybe not so bad." And with my little Nazi jokes in Postal, I offended the Germans in a harsh time.
