A film should be like a rock in the shoe.
A film has to be like a stone in the shoe.
One of the things that got me thinking during therapy is that they say that fear is only thoughts, and nothing will happen because thoughts will never be real. And my thesis, or joke, in film Antichrist, is that they really do become real.
I am the best film director in the world.
If there are some people that like the film and some people that do not, that's fine for me, because I do not intend to make very broad films.
My films generally center around thousands of pictures being flashed in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion.
When I was in film school, it was said that all good films were characterised by some form of humour.
It's always been a lie that it's difficult to make films.
When I show a film at a festival, I am showing myself. Everything is at stake for me.
I hope my films will never completely be without the ability to mark anybody.
I can't tell you why I choose stuff, it's really something I don't analyse. The only thing I can say is that a film has to demand to be made, I don't have a plan of what films I'm going to make. The only thing that I know now is that I'm not too crazy about doing things again that I've been into before.
I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology.
